Canon DC50 review
Most camcorders offer still pictures as an afterthought -- not the Canon DC50. With its useful features, fine video details and a surprisingly robust photo mode, this DVD-based camcorder presents both a very good home-movie recorder and a competent snapshot camera 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 HDR-CX100 review
The compact, flash-based Handycam HDR-CX100 has a boxy but pleasant design and shoots decent video, performing particularly well in low light. Whether or not it's right for you depends on how significant a factor size is, as you can get better-equipped but larger models for the same price Read more

Canon DC40 review
Canon's DC40 cements its place among the best of the DVD camcorders with its broad, useful feature set, zippy shooting performance, attractive design and good video quality. It does suffer from many of the same performance flaws as its competitors, but if your heart is set on recording to DVD, it's well worth a look Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD7E review
Although MiniDV camcorders offer superior image clarity and longer record times than DVD camcorders, there is something uniquely pleasurable about popping a DVD straight out of the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD7E and into your home player. If you're not looking to be the next Tarantino, the 7E makes a viable choice Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-PC1000 review
This MiniDV digital camcorder offers superb picture quality from its three CMOS chips. But while it's compact and has a good widescreen LCD, the user interface is a shambles -- it's overly complicated and difficult to find basic functions 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

Canon HV10 review
Canon puts high-definition video recording in your pocket, although to make room in said pocket requires removing more than £800 from it. Still, that makes the Canon HV10 the cheapest, smallest HDV camcorder to date. The HV10 has more going for it than just this month's novelty value, if you can overlook some design quirks Read more
