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 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

Canon MVX460 review

Canon's MVX460 is more compact than its entry-level MV models. It offers a larger, higher-resolution CCD sensor that provides 1-megapixel still images and better video resolution. Canon has also addressed some design issues from previous MVX models, making this a great compact camcorder, if don't need to shoot in low light Read more
