Sony NSC-GC1 review
Closed, the NSC-GC1 net sharing cam looks more than a little like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sony have jumped on the YouTube bandwagon with this pocket camera/camcorder. It's specifically tailored for video sharing, and don't worry -- you'll be in complete control Read more

Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam review
Creative has done a nice job with its first entry into the straight-to-Web mini camcorder market. With its small form factor and a rechargeable battery, this camcorder has an extremely low price tag to keep you sweet and away from point-and-shoot cameras Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR58E review
Sony's Handycam DCR-SR58E is one of the better standard-definition camcorders we've seen of late. It's easy to use and offers some genuinely useful features. It is, however, let down by its appalling photo quality. Read more

Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus review
We're happy to report that you can find the Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus for under £200, which is great considering it's a 'full HD', lightweight camcorder. It's a true point-and-shoot and yields crisp images and movies and performs well in most situations -- though sound quality leaves something to be desired Read more

The Sanyo Xacti DMX-CA8 is a waterproof camcorder that's up to the challenge of holidays, adventures and wet weekends.

Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review
The DZ-3200E offers only two megapixels, compared to its big brother DZ-3300E's three, but with its video almost as pleasing and at £100 less, this could be the budget choice for those looking for a compact DVD camcorder with 10x optical zoom Read more

Samsung SMX-F34 review
The straightforward SMX-F34 may not offer the best standard-definition video quality in the world, but it's comfortable to use and provides plenty of features for an affordable price. In particular, its 34x zoom lens and 16GB of internal memory are more than you'll get with most rivals 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
