Sony DCR-DVD203 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD203 has many of the features that made the DCR-DVD403 one of our top DVD camcorders, including solid video quality, speedy start-up and DVD convenience. It's not quite as good at low-light shooting and doesn't cut it for still photos, though Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD505E review

Thanks to a large LCD screen and responsive performance, shooting with the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD505E is a pleasure -- throw in its superior video quality and the camcorder makes an excellent alternative to MiniDV models if you're looking for straight-to-player convenience Read more

Canon DC50 review

Most camcorders offer still pictures as an afterthought -- not the Canon DC50. With its useful features, fine video details and a surprisingly robust photo mode, this DVD-based camcorder presents both a very good home-movie recorder and a competent snapshot camera Read more

Canon DC40 review

Canon's DC40 cements its place among the best of the DVD camcorders with its broad, useful feature set, zippy shooting performance, attractive design and good video quality. It does suffer from many of the same performance flaws as its competitors, but if your heart is set on recording to DVD, it's well worth a look Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD7E review

Although MiniDV camcorders offer superior image clarity and longer record times than DVD camcorders, there is something uniquely pleasurable about popping a DVD straight out of the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD7E and into your home player. If you're not looking to be the next Tarantino, the 7E makes a viable choice Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 review

If you're shopping around for a low-end DVD camcorder without too many superficial features, the DCR-DVD205 could be the solution. While it's lacking in some basic connections, such as USB, and its image quality is no more than mediocre, it does offer widescreen video and reasonably fast autofocus Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review

The DZ-3200E offers only two megapixels, compared to its big brother DZ-3300E's three, but with its video almost as pleasing and at £100 less, this could be the budget choice for those looking for a compact DVD camcorder with 10x optical zoom 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

Hitachi DZ-BX35E review

Like most low-end camcorders, the Hitachi DZ-BX35E, which includes a 25x optical zoom lens and sub-megapixel CCD, isn't loaded with fancy features, but it's intuitive to use and ergonomically sound. Its image quality isn't the best in its class, though, and you can get a better Hitachi for not much more money Read more
