Panasonic VDR-D310 review

The Panasonic VDR-D310 is the most high-end Panasonic DVD camcorder you can get. With a 10x Leica lens giving it a significant edge, it clearly appears to be designed for users who want high-quality video without investing the significant money required for hi-def Read more

JVC Everio GZ-HD3 review

The JVC Everio GZ-HD3 is a scaled-down version of the Everio GZ-HD7 released a few months ago. It includes the same triple-CCD design and many of the same features, although it includes a Konica Minolta with a 10x optical zoom range and digital image stabilisation Read more

JVC Everio GZ-HD7 review

JVC's Everio GZ-HD7 is a hard-drive-based camcorder that attempts to combine the benefits of three CCD sensors with high-definition image quality. It doesn't produce the best videos we've seen, however it does offer an excellent range of features Read more

Panasonic SDR-H250 review

Panasonic brings a 3CCD hard drive camcorder to the table with the SDR-H250. It helpfully provides an option to record to a memory card and it offers many useful scene modes, but it will struggle to keep up with hi-def models Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG505 review

JVC's Everio GZ-MG505 is a hard-disk-based 3CCD camcorder that follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the GZ-MC500, which remains an extremely impressive camcorder, even by today's standards. The MG505 adds a larger hard disk and improved optics, but it still records to proprietary video format, which may not please more professional users Read more

Panasonic NV-GS500 review

Panasonic's NV-GS500 doesn't so much improve on the NV-GS400 as simplify it, however it does now have the ability to display widescreen video. It retains the same lens and trio, so videos and photos look almost identical, but many manual controls and features have either been moved to the menus or eliminated altogether Read more

Panasonic NV-GS300 review

The primary appeal of Panasonic's NV-GS300 camera is its trio of CCD chips, which allow it to capture richer colour and sharper images than single-CCD cameras. The sharp video and the addition of a widescreen LCD will appeal to HDTV owners looking for good image quality at a price less than that of a true HD camcorder Read more

Panasonic VDR-D300 review

DVD camcorders have typically sacrificed quality for convenience compared to MiniDV models in the same price range. The Panasonic VDR-D300 breaks that mould by offering video quality that's noticeably better than that of many competing DVD camcorders, as well as three CCDs for excellent colour, even in low-light situations 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

JVC GR-X5 review

JVC bills the GR-X5 as a 'cutting-edge digital media camera'. It's a sort of Swiss Army knife that is supposed to satisfy all a consumer's imaging needs, both video and still. With a typical price of £860, this would be an expensive camcorder or still camera, but as it does both functions well, it's not a bad deal. Just don't take it out at night Read more
