Panasonic HDC-SD5 review

Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is a 3CCD hi-def camcorder that records to flash memory. This makes it very small and light, but it manages to offer a high-resolution foldout screen. Intelligent contrast control makes for great quality high-definition footage Read more

Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus review

We're happy to report that you can find the Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus for under £200, which is great considering it's a 'full HD', lightweight camcorder. It's a true point-and-shoot and yields crisp images and movies and performs well in most situations -- though sound quality leaves something to be desired Read more

Flip Video MinoHD (2nd gen) review

The second-generation MinoHD mini-camcorder shoots the same impressive 720p video as its predecessor. But it also offers a sleeker body, more storage space and an HDMI port on the bottom for connecting it to a high-definition TV. It's fantastically easy to use and marvellously pocketable too Read more

Canon HG21 review

Our main issue with the HG21, Canon's high-class, high-definition camcorder, is that it may be too good for its own good. Now that should tell you something. The HG21 comes with a whopping 120GB hard drive, a vast array of high-end features and produces video that is absolutely breathtaking. If you think you can make use of it all, this one's a winner Read more

Genius G-Shot DV1210 review

The Genius G-Shot DV1210 is a dinky camcorder that's pleasingly straightforward. It's light and easy to use, and at this price is perfect for the younger, or clumsier, user. If you're looking to get creative, this may be too simple, but it's perfect for Internet video Read more

Panasonic SDR-SW20 review

The novelty of waterproof gadgets takes a long time to wear off and we'll never tire of drop-testing products, which is why the shock and water-proof Panasonic SDR-SW20 camcorder certainly has the fun factor. It looks great too and is highly affordable for holidaymakers Read more
