Commendable performance and plenty of storage space make the Canon Legria HF M41 camcorder one to consider for advanced users. But competition is tough at this price point and there could be more attractive options available, depending on your requirements. Read more

Canon HG20 review
We're loving the Canon HG20 HD camcorder, if not just for its bigger 60GB hard drive compared to Canon's comparable HF11's 32GB of internal flash memory. But that's just where it starts -- the HG20 is cheaper at around £720 and has excellent lens performance, not to mention superb video quality and understated design Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MC200 review
We've seen small camcorders before, but the MC200 ushers in a whole new generation of handheld camcorders that you can almost enclose in your palm. These suckers are small, really small. If you've been reluctant to take a camcorder on holiday because of the size of the things, you might be swayed by the MC200 -- it's the same size as a rolled-up pair of socks Read more

Canon Legria HF20 review
Compared to its competitors, the flash-based, high-definition Legria HF20 compact camcorder is pricey.

The flash-based, high-definition Legria HF200 compact camcorder is pricey compared to many of its rivals.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR350VE review
The Sony Handycam HDR-XR350VE is certainly capable of producing excellent quality video, but its cost may be harder to justify if you're not going to take full advantage of the extended storage and GPS features this camcorder offers. Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-CX12E review
The compact Handycam HDR-CX12E flash-based camcorder offers impressive high-def video quality, good still photos and a decent feature set. You might miss some of the perks that you get on larger rivals, such as an eye-level viewfinder and bigger LCD screen, but the CX12E is excellent all the same Read more

Canon Legria HF M31 review
In the right circumstances, the Canon Legria HF M31's picture quality can easily impress. But poor low-light performance and a sorely misjudged control system let down this otherwise decent camcorder Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E review
The Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E is a bargain, with its HD video support, hard disk-based recording and Sony provenance. It feels solidly built, with some nice design touches and the controls in the places you'd expect to find them. With plenty of features, you're looking at the real deal Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR80 review
If you're the type of videographer that puts the camcorder in Easy mode and concentrates on pointing the lens in the right direction and zooming when appropriate, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR80 should be great for you. Performance is pleasing and image quality is impressive -- you could definitely do a lot worse Read more
