JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK review
The JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK records its video on an internal 30GB hard disk, which allows you to save as much as 7 hours of video at the highest quality or a staggering 37 hours of footage at the lowest-quality. It's extremely lightweight and compact, but the video quality simply doesn't stack up against that of most MiniDV or DVD camcorders Read more

JVC GR-D370 review
JVC's GR-D370 is a standard compact camcorder with a low price tag. It features a relatively powerful 32x optical zoom and widescreen support, but its video quality does leave something to be desired. If you want a small, light camcorder without parting with too much cash this could be the one, but do shop around before you buy Read more

Kodak PlayTouch review
At the more expensive end of the pocket-camcorder range, the Kodak PlayTouch offers the novelty of fingertip controls and is very simple to use, but brings very little else to the table. Read more

Oregon Scientific ATC5K Waterproof Action Camera review
Squeezing a full-colour LCD screen into its small, ruggedised body -- something that's unusual for an extreme-sports camcorder -- the ATC5K Waterproof Action Camera is particularly easy to use. Its low-light performance leaves something to be desired, but it should withstand most punishment meted out to it Read more

Hitachi DZ-HS300E review
Hitachi's DZ-HS300E is a budget hybrid HDD/DVD-based camcorder, ideal if you want the stability of hard drive recording with the easy playback and distribution of a DVD. It's not a bad performer, but the image quality is far from perfect Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 packs a powerful 20x zoom into an extremely compact, lightweight chassis at a very low price. But while this easy-to-use, touch-screen-controlled MiniDV camcorder won't break the bank, its grainy footage and poor low-light performance won't win any awards, either Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 lacks the compact size and more advanced features found in MiniDV and DVD camcorders, but its ability to play back and digitise 8mm and Hi8 tapes will be appealing if you have a large collection of analogue footage Read more

JVC GR-D290 review
The JVC GR-D290 packs an impressive feature list for such a low-priced MiniDV camcorder, including a 25x optical zoom, two included batteries, an SD/MMC card slot for saving stills and a built-in video light, but it offers only mediocre video quality and fuzzy stills Read more

Toshiba Camileo H30 review
This cheap and largely mediocre camcorder isn't entirely without merits. Picture quality isn't among them, however, so we'd struggle to get too enthusiastic about the Toshiba Camileo H30, whatever the price. Read more

Genius G-shot HD520 review
For £90 or thereabouts, you can't expect to get the pinnacle of video-capture performance, so it's no surprise that the G-shot HD520's 720p footage isn't the best we've ever clapped eyes on. But it's packed with features and worth a look for those who just want to capture the moment Read more
