Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review
It may be a tad on the pricey side, but as a high-definition camcorder, Sony's Handycam HDR-HC7 is well worth the money -- video quality is excellent and there are a good range of manual controls Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 review
Like its sibling the HDR-FX1, the HDR-FX7 is a three-chip, 'prosumer' hi-def MiniDV camcorder. It offers a hefty 20x zoom and excellent video quality, although its sound options are less satisfactory 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

Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 review
Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 is an affordable, small and lightweight camcorder. It has many similarities to the entry-level Handycam DCR-HC26, but the HC36 comes with a Memory Stick Duo Pro slot for still-image recording, as well as a remote control, which is handy when watching your tapes 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 HDR-HC3 review
The Sony Handycam HDR-HC3's smaller size and lower cost make it a more reasonable HD video option for many. It's still not an impulse buy, but with excellent HD/SD video quality, a good mix of automatic and manual features and passable still-photo capabilities it is definitely worth the investment 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 HDR-HC1 review
The HDR-HC1 is Sony's first stab at a single-chip model capable of recording 16:9, 1080i video. It incorporates a lot of the features Sony devotees love, including Super NightShot mode, a Zeiss lens and a manual focus ring. At this price though, it's competing with the 3CCD big boys, and the image quality just doesn't add up 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-HC32 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 offers a powerful optical zoom, a low price tag, a compact design, friendly ergonomics and abundant manual adjustments. Only image quality spoils the party: be prepared for tame colours and some noticeable noise in lower-light settings Read more
