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

JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK review
The JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK records its video on an internal 30GB hard disk, which allows you to save as much as 7 hours of video at the highest quality or a staggering 37 hours of footage at the lowest-quality. It's extremely lightweight and compact, but the video quality simply doesn't stack up against that of most MiniDV or DVD camcorders 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

Panasonic VDR-D300 review
DVD camcorders have typically sacrificed quality for convenience compared to MiniDV models in the same price range. The Panasonic VDR-D300 breaks that mould by offering video quality that's noticeably better than that of many competing DVD camcorders, as well as three CCDs for excellent colour, even in low-light situations Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 lacks the compact size and more advanced features found in MiniDV and DVD camcorders, but its ability to play back and digitise 8mm and Hi8 tapes will be appealing if you have a large collection of analogue footage 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

Sony DCR-DVD203 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD203 has many of the features that made the DCR-DVD403 one of our top DVD camcorders, including solid video quality, speedy start-up and DVD convenience. It's not quite as good at low-light shooting and doesn't cut it for still photos, though 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
