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

Canon DC10 review

Canon's DC10 has an almost identical design to its sibling, the DC20 -- the latter benefits from a higher resolution CCD for stills photography and a night mode. If you're used to MiniDV, you might find the DC10's footage disappointing, but casual users may well find the convenience of straight-to-DVD recording more than compensates Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 review

Sony may not be the first manufacturer to enter the hard drive camcorder market -- that distinction goes to JVC's Everio models. But with excellent video quality and fluid operation, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 puts all but the more expensive JVC 500 series models, as well as Sony's own DVD-based models, to shame 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

Canon DC20 review

The DC20 offers a f/1.8, 10x optical zoom lens, coupled with a single CCD whose image quality leaves something to be desired, particularly in low light. However, as with most DVD camcorders, what you sacrifice in features you regain in simplicity and hassle-free operation Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 features Dolby 5.1 Surround recording and delivers above-average video and stills in a compact, comfortable package. Before you commit, though, give the touch screen an in-store tryout as it can make or break your experience with this product 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

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
