Hitachi DZ-HS300E review
Hitachi's DZ-HS300E is a budget hybrid HDD/DVD-based camcorder, ideal if you want the stability of hard drive recording with the easy playback and distribution of a DVD. It's not a bad performer, but the image quality is far from perfect Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR85 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-SR85's 60GB of storage means you can take it on holiday without worrying about running out of space. Plus, you can save video and stills to Memory Stick Pro Duo cards up to 8GB, making it a 'hybrid' camcorder. It's easy to operate, too, thanks in part to a responsive, 69mm (2.7-inch) touchscreen LCD Read more

Canon MV890 review
The Canon MV890's is not as sparse as its price suggests. The MiniDV camcorder is a surprisingly well-appointed model, which shares impressive core specs -- including a widescreen LCD and plenty of manual controls -- with Canon's more expensive models, the MV930 and its pricier MV960 Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E review
With great picture quality and a healthy amount of on-board storage for a reasonable price, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E is a smart choice for anyone planning to use their camcorder often. Don't expect great results on the photo side, though. Read more

Canon MV930 review
As a general-use holiday camcorder, it's hard to level any real criticism at the Canon MV930. Years of experience and the decreasing costs of components have enabled Canon to deliver a very well-made camcorder for just over £200. If you can resist the magpie allure of the new DVD and hard-disk models, the MV930 is a bargain Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD60 review
Its average photo quality is a shame, but the Panasonic HDC-SD60 still comes highly recommended -- few entry-level camcorders have impressed us so much in terms of both features and video performance. Read more

Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 review
Under the right conditions, the attractive and eminently portable Xacti VPC-TH1 is capable of shooting extremely rich and detailed 720p footage -- just don't shake it too much when filming. It's also very easy to use and won't put a massive dent in your wallet 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

JVC GR-D240 review
MiniDV might have been superceded by hard disks in the gadget-cool stakes, but it's still widely available, great value and, most importantly, offers good quality imaging. The GR-D240 is a case in point: a simple holiday camcorder that offers lovely daylight footage Read more
