Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 review
The HDR-HC1 is Sony's first stab at a single-chip model capable of recording 16:9, 1080i video.

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 features Dolby 5.1 Surround recording and delivers above-average video and stills in a compact, comfortable package. Before you commit, though, give the touch screen an in-store tryout as it can make or break your experience with this product Read more
