Kodak PlaySport review
Small, simple and submersible to 3m, Kodak's PlaySport keeps the price down without dropping the image quality too far. It has its share of flaws but it's great fun to use. Read more

JVC Everio GZ-X900 review
The distinctive design won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the Everio GZ-X900 comes pretty close to being the perfect combination of camcorder and camera, shooting crisp video and sharp photos. You'll have to dig deep though -- this machine doesn't come cheap Read more

Samsung HMX-R10 review
The HMX-R10 is a respectable compact camcorder. Its 1080p video can be jittery, but it delivers decent performance at a 720p resolution and is brimming with shooting options. For those underwhelmed by pocket camcorders, like Flip Video's offerings, it could well fit the bill Read more

Canon Legria HF R106 review
Cheap and mostly cheerful, the Canon Legria HF R106 is by no means perfect, but it's certainly one of the best camcorder options available in the sub-£250 price bracket. Read more

Sony HDR-FX1 review
Sony's first HDV camera, the HDR-FX1, has some very well-thought-out features that make it an ideal vessel for riding out the transition to hi-def Read more

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 review
Combining 10-megapixel still photos with 720p high-definition video, the Xacti VPC-CG10 aims to offer a killer combination of camera and camcorder for a reasonable price. Its ray-gun design won't appeal to everyone, but it's very pocket-friendly and extremely easy to operate Read more

Kodak Zi6 review
While bigger than most of its competitors and high priced for a mini camcorder, the Kodak Zi6's attractive design and decent video quality adequately compensate for some usability drawbacks. Most notably, we wanted an optional memory card to make up for the mere 30MB of storage Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-CX6EK review
There are some great features squashed into the tiny body of the Sony Handycam HDR-CX6EK. It's small thanks to its AVCHD flash memory, and you can use the touchscreen interface to navigate a nice complement of controls, all through the sharp Zeiss T lens. Do you have room for a little 'un? Read more
