Panasonic HDC-SD60 review

Its average photo quality is a shame, but the Panasonic HDC-SD60 still comes highly recommended -- few entry-level camcorders have impressed us so much in terms of both features and video performance. Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E review

The Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E is a small but surprisingly feature-packed, high-quality camcorder. It's comparatively cheap and easy to use, too. Still photos aren't much cop, but this is a fine video device in all other respects. Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E review

With great picture quality and a healthy amount of on-board storage for a reasonable price, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E is a smart choice for anyone planning to use their camcorder often. Don't expect great results on the photo side, though. Read more

Canon MV930 review

As a general-use holiday camcorder, it's hard to level any real criticism at the Canon MV930. Years of experience and the decreasing costs of components have enabled Canon to deliver a very well-made camcorder for just over £200. If you can resist the magpie allure of the new DVD and hard-disk models, the MV930 is a bargain Read more

Hitachi DZ-HS500 review

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

Canon MV960 review

Canon's MV960 is blessed with a palm-friendly design which includes a widescreen LCD, simplified controls and a 25x zoom -- one of the highest we've seen in an entry-level camcorder. It also delivers the same top-notch colour reproduction as its predecessor, the MV850i 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

JVC GR-D240 review

MiniDV might have been superceded by hard disks in the gadget-cool stakes, but it's still widely available, great value and, most importantly, offers good quality imaging. The GR-D240 is a case in point: a simple holiday camcorder that offers lovely daylight footage Read more

Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 review

Under the right conditions, the attractive and eminently portable Xacti VPC-TH1 is capable of shooting extremely rich and detailed 720p footage -- just don't shake it too much when filming. It's also very easy to use and won't put a massive dent in your wallet Read more
