The compact Handycam HDR-CX12E flash-based camcorder offers impressive high-def video quality, good still photos and a decent feature set.

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

Sony Handycam DCR-HC46 review

While it was hard to make the case to step up from the DCR-HC26 to the DCR-HC36, the Sony Handycam DCR-HC46 is a logical improvement, with a noticeable bump in video quality for your extra cash. Casual videographers who care about video quality but don't want to break the bank on a camcorder should keep the DCR-HC46 on their short list Read more
