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

JVC Everio GZ-HD7 review

JVC's Everio GZ-HD7 is a hard-drive-based camcorder that attempts to combine the benefits of three CCD sensors with high-definition image quality. It doesn't produce the best videos we've seen, however it does offer an excellent range of features Read more

JVC Everio GZ-HD3 review

The JVC Everio GZ-HD3 is a scaled-down version of the Everio GZ-HD7 released a few months ago. It includes the same triple-CCD design and many of the same features, although it includes a Konica Minolta with a 10x optical zoom range and digital image stabilisation Read more

Panasonic SDRS100 review

Panasonic is blazing the trail towards SD-card video capture with this diminutive, three-chip camcorder. It may be usable and innovative, but its image quality leaves a great deal to be desired and it's very expensive indeed Read more

Panasonic SDR-H250 review

Panasonic brings a 3CCD hard drive camcorder to the table with the SDR-H250. It helpfully provides an option to record to a memory card and it offers many useful scene modes, but it will struggle to keep up with hi-def models 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

Aiptek AHD200 review

High-definition filming couldn't be simpler with the Aiptek AHD200 camcorder. Plug in a memory card, open the screen and away you go. It's a perfectly decent camcorder for anyone on a budget who's looking to take a compact shooter on holiday or someone ready to start an HD career Read more

Hitachi DZ-BD70E review

The format war is over and with Blu-ray victorious, the Hitachi DZ-BD70E attempts to claim the spoils as the first Blu-ray camcorder on the market. Recording 'Full HD' footage on to Blu-ray discs, this shooter also provides plenty of features, plus an interactive guide for use Read more
