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

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 review

The 5-megapixel Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1's feature list contains several first-to-market wins -- it records and outputs progressive-scan video at 720p, it incorporates a dazzling 56mm (2.2-inch) OLED screen and it crams a 10x zoom lens into a device that fits into your palm, but its image quality is not so hot 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

Sony HDR-FX1 review

Sony's first HDV camera, the HDR-FX1, has some very well-thought-out features that make it an ideal vessel for riding out the transition to hi-def Read more
