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 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

JVC Everio GZ-HM330 review
It's not the most glamorous model on the market, but JVC's Everio GZ-HM330 will easily provide most families with everything they need from a high-definition camcorder, for a very acceptable price. Read more

Hitachi DZ-HS500 review
The Hitachi DZ-HS500 combines two different formats in one with hybrid technology.

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-SR45E review
The best thing about the Sony Handycam DCR-SR45E is the touchscreen -- and the compact size, and probably the price, too. It is still a basic camcorder, however, with only standard-definition videos that won't appear that sharp if played back on a full-size TV screen 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

JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review
While casual users will find the MG20's nine-hour footage capacity is more than enough for general use, compulsive videographers will be better off opting for a removable hard-disk camera. But the overwhelming reason to opt for the MG20 is its tin-can size Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 review
High definition may be all the rage, but not everyone is ready to make the leap to shooting in HD. Some just want a small, unobtrusive camcorder that records good-quality footage and doesn't cost the earth -- JVC delivers that with the MG330 that offers a 30GB hard drive and 35x optical zoom for under £250 Read more

Canon DC220 review
Canon's mid-range DC220 is a feature-rich DVD camcorder. Controlled with a tiny, well-located joystick, you can choose from program, shutter-priority or night exposure modes and a wealth of white balance settings. With a 35x optical zoom lens and strong image stablisation, this camera impresses Read more
