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

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

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

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

Panasonic NV-GS80 review

The Panasonic NV-GS80 is a MiniDV camcorder available at the appeallingly low price of around £200. It produces excellent video, which is mostly clean and free of grain, and comes with a useful 32x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilisation Read more
