Editors' choice Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 review

Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 review

The Sony Handycam HDR-HC3's smaller size and lower cost make it a more reasonable HD video option for many. It's still not an impulse buy, but with excellent HD/SD video quality, a good mix of automatic and manual features and passable still-photo capabilities it is definitely worth the investment Read more

Canon MVX350i review

With good video quality, thanks to its megapixel CCD, a 20x optical zoom, loads of special effects and usable-in-a-pinch still-photo capabilities, the MVX350i is full featured for a MiniDV camera in its price range Read more

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

Panasonic VDR-D300 review

DVD camcorders have typically sacrificed quality for convenience compared to MiniDV models in the same price range. The Panasonic VDR-D300 breaks that mould by offering video quality that's noticeably better than that of many competing DVD camcorders, as well as three CCDs for excellent colour, even in low-light situations Read more

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

Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 review

At the top of Sony's MiniDV camcorder line, the compact Handycam DCR-HC96 earns its place with excellent video quality, a full suite of manual and automatic functions and above-average photo quality. Points are deducted for a small, fiddly LCD, but overall an excellent choice Read more

Panasonic NVGS35B review

The Panasonic NVGS35B is in most respects a rather ordinary compact camcorder -- until you hit the zoom switch. With its far-reaching 30x optical zoom, the NVGS35B offers shooting flexibility that's unprecedented for a camera in its price class, and also offers decent video quality and a good, basic set of features Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX20E review

Hitachi's DZ-GX20E offers speedy start-up, solid video quality in a variety of lighting conditions and the ability to edit video in-camera. With a 10x optical zoom, a 2-megapixel CCD, a basic set of features and decent overall performance, it's not a standout. But it's worth considering if you want the convenience of DVD recording at a reasonable price Read more
