JVC Everio GZ-MS100 review

The big YouTube sticker on back of this camcorder's LCD and the YouTube branding on the box are kind of a giveaway: JVC's Everio GZ-MS100 is a compact, budget SD-card-based camcorder capitalising on the trend of one-touch video upload to the Internet Read more

Canon FS100 review

At a budget price, the Canon FS100 is small, stylish and provides a reasonably expansive feature set for an SD card-based camcorder. It's a compact and convenient video camera with a hybrid zoom for very long shots Read more

Samsung Miniket VP-X110L review

Whether you want to give an intimate glimpse into your personal life a la Being John Malkovich, or (more likely) record your wipeouts on your snowboarding holiday, the flash-based Miniket is the perfect gadget -- it has a detachable lens you can strap to your head. It's expensive, though, and image quality isn't great Read more

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 review

The 5-megapixel Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1's feature list contains several first-to-market wins -- it records and outputs progressive-scan video at 720p, it incorporates a dazzling 56mm (2.2-inch) OLED screen and it crams a 10x zoom lens into a device that fits into your palm, but its image quality is not so hot Read more

Panasonic SDR-S150 review

It sounds like the perfect holiday camcorder: it's very light because it records to an included 2GB SD card, it's got three CCDs, a 10x zoom lens and optical image stabilisation; but image quality is a problem Read more

Sanyo VPC-C4 review

The VPC-C4 isn't much larger than some mobile phones, yet it can capture remarkably sharp and vibrant photos. It also records some of the best MPEG-4 video we've seen from a consumer-priced hybrid device Read more

Hitachi DZ-BD70E review

The format war is over and with Blu-ray victorious, the Hitachi DZ-BD70E attempts to claim the spoils as the first Blu-ray camcorder on the market. Recording 'Full HD' footage on to Blu-ray discs, this shooter also provides plenty of features, plus an interactive guide for use 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
