Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 packs a powerful 20x zoom into an extremely compact, lightweight chassis at a very low price. But while this easy-to-use, touch-screen-controlled MiniDV camcorder won't break the bank, its grainy footage and poor low-light performance won't win any awards, either Read more

JVC GR-D650 review
The high-end entry in JVC's line of D-series compact camcorders, the GR-D650 offers low-light performance that's better than you'd expect in a budget-priced camcorder. With its 1.3-megapixel CCD and an f/1.2, 15x zoom lens, this MiniDV camcorder turns in better video quality than JVC's more expensive hard disk-based Everio line 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

Panasonic NV-GS300 review
The primary appeal of Panasonic's NV-GS300 camera is its trio of CCD chips, which allow it to capture richer colour and sharper images than single-CCD cameras. The sharp video and the addition of a widescreen LCD will appeal to HDTV owners looking for good image quality at a price less than that of a true HD camcorder Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 review
At the top of Sony's MiniDV camcorder line, the compact Handycam DCR-HC96 earns its place with excellent video quality, a full suite of manual and automatic functions and above-average photo quality. Points are deducted for a small, fiddly LCD, but overall an excellent choice Read more

JVC GR-D290 review
The JVC GR-D290 packs an impressive feature list for such a low-priced MiniDV camcorder, including a 25x optical zoom, two included batteries, an SD/MMC card slot for saving stills and a built-in video light, but it offers only mediocre video quality and fuzzy stills Read more

Panasonic NVGS35B review
The Panasonic NVGS35B is in most respects a rather ordinary compact camcorder -- until you hit the zoom switch. With its far-reaching 30x optical zoom, the NVGS35B offers shooting flexibility that's unprecedented for a camera in its price class, and also offers decent video quality and a good, basic set of features Read more

Samsung DuoCam VP-D6550 review
Samsung's latest entry in the DuoCam series is another attempt at providing a single imaging solution -- it's a camcorder with a separate digital camera included. Such solutions inevitably involve compromise and here the downsides are a sluggish camera and poor low-light video quality Read more

Sony DCR-PC55 review
A stylish shooting companion that's small and light enough to fit in your trouser pocket, the DCR-PC55 also provides most of the capabilities of larger counterparts. Unfortunately, it compromises on video quality Read more

Canon MVX350i review
With good video quality, thanks to its megapixel CCD, a 20x optical zoom, loads of special effects and usable-in-a-pinch still-photo capabilities, the MVX350i is full featured for a MiniDV camera in its price range Read more
