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

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

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 HDC-SDT750 review

The Panasonic HDC-SDT750 is an excellent 2D camcorder, with a host of useful, creative features -- most of which are lost when you opt to film in 3D. Thankfully, these limitations fail to undermine the novelty of lensing in the third dimension. If you have a 3D TV, it's probably worth the premium. 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

Panasonic HDC-HS700 review

Panasonic's HDC-HS700 gets top marks in almost every department and comes with all the storage you'll ever need built in. This is a seriously powerful camcorder, so only serious power users need apply. Read more

JVC Picsio GC-FM2 review

The JVC Picsio GC-FM2 is a pocket-sized video and photo camera that has a couple of interesting tricks up its sleeve, but suffers from quality limitations and is pretty light on extras. 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
