Samsung HMX-R10 review

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

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

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG100 review

The Xacti VPC-CG100 is a relatively cheap and stylish 1080p camcorder that also takes 14-megapixel photos. Neither its video or photo quality will make you cry tears of joy, but it's not a bad compromise for people who don't want to carry two devices around 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

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

1.0000 star out of 5

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 SDRS100 review

Panasonic is blazing the trail towards SD-card video capture with this diminutive, three-chip camcorder. It may be usable and innovative, but its image quality leaves a great deal to be desired and it's very expensive indeed Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E review

The Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E is a bargain, with its HD video support, hard disk-based recording and Sony provenance. It feels solidly built, with some nice design touches and the controls in the places you'd expect to find them. With plenty of features, you're looking at the real deal Read more

Samsung VP-HMX20 review

Samsung is coming into its own on the camcorder front, with the Samsung HMX20. It's a sleeker, more confident beast, and impressed us with the quality of its video even in low light, making this more than just a good-looking model. It's lacking a few things, but its ease of use more than makes up for it Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-SR1 review

Sony's sturdy, adaptable camcorder is a pleasure to use. Hard disk capacity, a great design and a broad feature set -- including AV, component and HDMI output jacks and a manual control ring for adjusting exposure, focus and white balance -- make this the consumer HD model to beat for 2006 Read more
