Canon HV30 review

The Canon HV30 is an upgrade to last year's top-notch HV20. This model features a sleeker-looking black body and much longer battery life, making it a well-designed prosumer camcorder with a useful feature set, great performance and excellent video quality Read more

Canon XH G1 review

The Canon XH G1 model is the mid-range of choices for videographers. It uses the same technology as the professional-level XL H1, but uses an equivalent of the H1's JackPack and -- like its sister model, the XH A1 -- an interchangeable lens to drive down the cost, which will be attractive to budding filmmakers Read more

Canon HV20 review

The HV20 boasts quite a feature list, including a 3-megapixel sensor, optical image stabilisation, 24p recording, 10x optical zoom, an HDMI output and a long-lasting battery -- all in a horizontal design that's very comfortable to use Read more

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 review

Sanyo's Xacti VPC-HD2 can record hi-def MPEG-4 footage at 1,280x720-pixel resolution and 30 frames per second, and shoot 7-megapixel still images at the same time as shooting video -- not bad for such a small package Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review

It may be a tad on the pricey side, but as a high-definition camcorder, Sony's Handycam HDR-HC7 is well worth the money -- video quality is excellent and there are a good range of manual controls Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 review

Like its sibling the HDR-FX1, the HDR-FX7 is a three-chip, 'prosumer' hi-def MiniDV camcorder. It offers a hefty 20x zoom and excellent video quality, although its sound options are less satisfactory Read more

Canon HV10 review

Canon puts high-definition video recording in your pocket, although to make room in said pocket requires removing more than £800 from it. Still, that makes the Canon HV10 the cheapest, smallest HDV camcorder to date. The HV10 has more going for it than just this month's novelty value, if you can overlook some design quirks Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 review

The Sony Handycam HDR-HC3's smaller size and lower cost make it a more reasonable HD video option for many. It's still not an impulse buy, but with excellent HD/SD video quality, a good mix of automatic and manual features and passable still-photo capabilities it is definitely worth the investment Read more

Canon XL H1 review

At nearly £6,000, the XL H1 is by far the most expensive HD option in its class, featuring three 1.67-megapixel, 16:9-native, 1/3-inch CCDs. To those familiar with Canon's XL system, the XL H1 may prove the obvious choice. To others, its quirky design, lack of progressive-video capabilities and high price may be too much to put up with Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 review

The HDR-HC1 is Sony's first stab at a single-chip model capable of recording 16:9, 1080i video. It incorporates a lot of the features Sony devotees love, including Super NightShot mode, a Zeiss lens and a manual focus ring. At this price though, it's competing with the 3CCD big boys, and the image quality just doesn't add up Read more
