Canon XH A1 review
Canon's XH A1 uses the same technology as the company's professional-level XL H1, but trades in the interchangeable lens for a price that's far easier to stomach -- making it an appealing model for prosumers Read more

Canon HV30 review
The Canon HV30 is an upgrade to last year's top-notch HV20. This model features a sleeker-looking black body and much longer battery life, making it a well-designed prosumer camcorder with a useful feature set, great performance and excellent video quality 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

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review
It may be a tad on the pricey side, but as a high-definition camcorder, Sony's Handycam HDR-HC7 is well worth the money -- video quality is excellent and there are a good range of manual controls 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

Panasonic PV-GS400 review
With a street price of around £700, the Panasonic PV-GS400 is one of the best consumer-camcorder deals available. I offers a 3CCD capture system, 12x optical zoom with optical stabiliser, 89mm LCD screen and manual control over almost every function -- but don't mistake it for a professional camera Read more

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. It incorporates a lot of the features Sony devotees love, including Super NightShot mode, a Zeiss lens and a manual focus ring. At this price though, it's competing with the 3CCD big boys, and the image quality just doesn't add up Read more

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
