Panasonic NV-GS80 review

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

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

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

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

Flip Video Mino review

The Flip Video Mino's more compact design makes it more pocket-friendly than its predecessor, the Ultra. Its 2GB of memory is decent, it uploads videos to YouTube with ease and this version has an integrated rechargeable battery, which will save you money. And you'll need it, too, at this price 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-SR47 review

An entry-level standard-definition hard-drive-based camcorder, the Handycam DCR-SR47 isn't for hi-def fanatics. But, if plenty of storage, a 60x megazoom lens and a compact and lightweight body are on your list of priorities, the DCR-SR47 will be well worth investigating Read more
