Canon Legria HF G10 review

The Canon Legria HF G10 camcorder's video quality is great, but its high cost and a few minor flaws mean it's lost some points in our book. Read more

Canon HG10 review

The Canon HG10, the hard drive-based, AVCHD-compatible camcorder, takes some chances. For starters, it has one of the most comfortable zoom switches in its class. Plus, upping its low-light performance, both focus and video quality, means it goes beyond other models to produce sharp photo and video Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-SR1 review

Sony's sturdy, adaptable camcorder is a pleasure to use. Hard disk capacity, a great design and a broad feature set -- including AV, component and HDMI output jacks and a manual control ring for adjusting exposure, focus and white balance -- make this the consumer HD model to beat for 2006 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

JVC Everio GZ-HD3 review

The JVC Everio GZ-HD3 is a scaled-down version of the Everio GZ-HD7 released a few months ago. It includes the same triple-CCD design and many of the same features, although it includes a Konica Minolta with a 10x optical zoom range and digital image stabilisation Read more

Panasonic PV-GS400 review

With a street price of around £700, the Panasonic PV-GS400 is one of the best consumer-camcorder deals available. I offers a 3CCD capture system, 12x optical zoom with optical stabiliser, 89mm LCD screen and manual control over almost every function -- but don't mistake it for a professional camera Read more
