Samsung VP-HMX20 review

Samsung is coming into its own on the camcorder front, with the Samsung HMX20. It's a sleeker, more confident beast, and impressed us with the quality of its video even in low light, making this more than just a good-looking model. It's lacking a few things, but its ease of use more than makes up for it Read more

Sony TG3E review

The Sony TG3E camcorder is perfect for people who are sick of making compromises -- either in quality in favour of size, or size in favour of quality. Though it isn't exactly mini at 240g, it's portable and, significantly, yields amazing HD footage with well-tuned features. If you ask us, that's the best of both worlds Read more

Toshiba Camileo SX900 review

Occupying a unique position somewhere between a pocket camcorder and a costlier video device, the Toshiba Camileo SX900 is fun to use, great value and offers several features not usually found on devices of this price. Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR290E review

Seeing is believing with Sony's Handycam DCR-SR290E. Its giant 69mm (2.7-inch) wide-screen touchscreen LCD allows you to see clearly through the Zeiss-branded 10x optical zoom lens. Along with Super SteadyShot image stablisation, you'll be looking at some excellent video Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD9 review

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 is one of the smallest and lightest full-size camcorders we've tested, and yet it still manages to pack in a good number of features -- you can even manually adjust aperture and shutter speed, which is unusual in this class Read more

Canon HR10 review

The Canon HR10 is camcorder that records to DVDs in the AVCHD format. It has an excellent complement of manual controls, including some nice image and digital effects, as well as Instant AF for changing the focus quickly. All in all, this camcorder produces some great video Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-CX100 review

The compact, flash-based Handycam HDR-CX100 has a boxy but pleasant design and shoots decent video, performing particularly well in low light. Whether or not it's right for you depends on how significant a factor size is, as you can get better-equipped but larger models for the same price Read more

Panasonic VDR-D310 review

The Panasonic VDR-D310 is the most high-end Panasonic DVD camcorder you can get. With a 10x Leica lens giving it a significant edge, it clearly appears to be designed for users who want high-quality video without investing the significant money required for hi-def Read more

Samsung Miniket VP-X110L review

Whether you want to give an intimate glimpse into your personal life a la Being John Malkovich, or (more likely) record your wipeouts on your snowboarding holiday, the flash-based Miniket is the perfect gadget -- it has a detachable lens you can strap to your head. It's expensive, though, and image quality isn't great Read more
