Sony Handycam DCR-SR45E review

The best thing about the Sony Handycam DCR-SR45E is the touchscreen -- and the compact size, and probably the price, too. It is still a basic camcorder, however, with only standard-definition videos that won't appear that sharp if played back on a full-size TV screen Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 review

High definition may be all the rage, but not everyone is ready to make the leap to shooting in HD. Some just want a small, unobtrusive camcorder that records good-quality footage and doesn't cost the earth -- JVC delivers that with the MG330 that offers a 30GB hard drive and 35x optical zoom for under £250 Read more

The Panasonic NV-GS80 is a MiniDV camcorder available at the appeallingly low price of around £200. It produces excellent video, which is mostly clean and free of grain, and comes with a useful 32x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilisation Read more

Canon MD160 review

Canon's MD160 is the top model in the company's MiniDV line this year. It offers a palm-friendly design, a 35x optical zoom and admirable colour reproduction, but it struggles against the competition when it comes to low light Read more

JVC GR-D370 review

JVC's GR-D370 is a standard compact camcorder with a low price tag. It features a relatively powerful 32x optical zoom and widescreen support, but its video quality does leave something to be desired. If you want a small, light camcorder without parting with too much cash this could be the one, but do shop around before you buy Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review

While casual users will find the MG20's nine-hour footage capacity is more than enough for general use, compulsive videographers will be better off opting for a removable hard-disk camera. But the overwhelming reason to opt for the MG20 is its tin-can size Read more
