Panasonic HDC-HS700 review

Panasonic's HDC-HS700 gets top marks in almost every department and comes with all the storage you'll ever need built in. This is a seriously powerful camcorder, so only serious power users need apply. Read more

Sony HDR-FX1 review

Sony's first HDV camera, the HDR-FX1, has some very well-thought-out features that make it an ideal vessel for riding out the transition to hi-def Read more

Canon XH G1 review

The Canon XH G1 model is the mid-range of choices for videographers. It uses the same technology as the professional-level XL H1, but uses an equivalent of the H1's JackPack and -- like its sister model, the XH A1 -- an interchangeable lens to drive down the cost, which will be attractive to budding filmmakers Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 review

Like its sibling the HDR-FX1, the HDR-FX7 is a three-chip, 'prosumer' hi-def MiniDV camcorder. It offers a hefty 20x zoom and excellent video quality, although its sound options are less satisfactory Read more

Panasonic HDC-TM700 review

The HDC-TM700 will appeal to a limited audience due to its high price, but it's truly packed with features and its 1080/50p video is often stunning. You'll need to ensure your playback and editing hardware and software is up to the task of handling the camcorder's raw footage, though Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD600 review

Not all of us have a spare grand to splash out on a camcorder, and we don't all need the full manual controls offered by Panasonic's top of the range models -- enter the new HDC-SD600. It promises 1080/50p progressive high-definition quality video and 14.2-megapixel stills at a more affordable price Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD5 review

Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is a 3CCD hi-def camcorder that records to flash memory. This makes it very small and light, but it manages to offer a high-resolution foldout screen. Intelligent contrast control makes for great quality high-definition footage Read more

Panasonic HDC-TM300 review

The flash-based HDC-TM300 camcorder is pricey but shoots excellent 1080p high-definition video and offers solid performance, as well as a full set of manual controls. The touchscreen interface can be irritating at times, but this remains a very good HD camcorder Read more

It may be expensive, but the Panasonic HDC-HS200 shoots truly excellent 1080p high-definition video, performing remarkably well in interior lighting conditions. It also takes great 10.6-megapixel still images, packs 80GB of built-in memory and boasts an intuitive touchscreen interface 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
