Canon Legria HF R18 review

Ease of use, built-in storage and a modest set of family-oriented features are all welcome on the Canon Legria HF R18 camcorder, but they seem to come at the expense of picture quality. Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 review

Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 is an affordable, small and lightweight camcorder. It has many similarities to the entry-level Handycam DCR-HC26, but the HC36 comes with a Memory Stick Duo Pro slot for still-image recording, as well as a remote control, which is handy when watching your tapes Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 offers a powerful optical zoom, a low price tag, a compact design, friendly ergonomics and abundant manual adjustments. Only image quality spoils the party: be prepared for tame colours and some noticeable noise in lower-light settings Read more

Samsung HMX-H200 review

The Samsung HMX-H200 is not without its foibles, but, if you can overlook these, you'll find it's a competent Full HD camcorder that’s easy to use and won’t break the bank. Read more

Hitachi DZ-MV750E review

The Hitachi DZ-MV750E offers a compact, easy-to-use, lightweight design, several formats of DVD and a hefty 16x zoom, but the useless 25-minute battery life and poor quality video and still pictures make it very difficult to recommend, even at this price Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 packs a powerful 20x zoom into an extremely compact, lightweight chassis at a very low price. But while this easy-to-use, touch-screen-controlled MiniDV camcorder won't break the bank, its grainy footage and poor low-light performance won't win any awards, either Read more
