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

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

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2 review
Sanyo's Xacti VPC-HD2 can record hi-def MPEG-4 footage at 1,280x720-pixel resolution and 30 frames per second, and shoot 7-megapixel still images at the same time as shooting video -- not bad for such a small package Read more

Sony HDR-FX1 review
Sony's first HDV camera, the HDR-FX1, has some very well-thought-out features that make it an ideal vessel for riding out the transition to hi-def 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

Canon XH G1 review
The Canon XH G1 model is the mid-range of choices for videographers. It uses the same technology as the professional-level XL H1, but uses an equivalent of the H1's JackPack and -- like its sister model, the XH A1 -- an interchangeable lens to drive down the cost, which will be attractive to budding filmmakers 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

Canon XH A1 review
Canon's XH A1 uses the same technology as the company's professional-level XL H1, but trades in the interchangeable lens for a price that's far easier to stomach -- making it an appealing model for prosumers Read more

Panasonic NV-GS500 review
Panasonic's NV-GS500 doesn't so much improve on the NV-GS400 as simplify it, however it does now have the ability to display widescreen video. It retains the same lens and trio, so videos and photos look almost identical, but many manual controls and features have either been moved to the menus or eliminated altogether Read more
