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

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

GoPro HD Helmet Hero review
The GoPro HD Helmet Hero is a 1080p camcorder that attaches to your helmet, and can also attach to your car, surfboard, bike and so on. Its excellent image quality means it's the device to buy if you want to document your extreme-sports shenanigans. Read more

Samsung HMX-H200 review
The Samsung HMX-H200 is not without its foibles, but, if you can overlook these, you'll find it's a competent Full HD camcorder that’s easy to use and won’t break the bank. Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD60 review
Its average photo quality is a shame, but the Panasonic HDC-SD60 still comes highly recommended -- few entry-level camcorders have impressed us so much in terms of both features and video performance. Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E review
With great picture quality and a healthy amount of on-board storage for a reasonable price, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E is a smart choice for anyone planning to use their camcorder often. Don't expect great results on the photo side, though. Read more

Flip Video MinoHD (3rd gen) review
It's a shame Flip Video hasn't chosen to boost the pixel count or add a still photo option, but the latest version of its MinoHD is still a great little camcorder that's easy to use and small enough to take anywhere. Read more

Canon Legria HF M31 review
In the right circumstances, the Canon Legria HF M31's picture quality can easily impress. But poor low-light performance and a sorely misjudged control system let down this otherwise decent camcorder Read more

Flip Video UltraHD (3rd gen) review
Another minor refresh from Flip Video, the new UltraHD is a small, simple camcorder with only a handful of new features to differentiate it from the last model in the range. There are a couple of glaring omissions -- no 1080p or photo modes, for example -- but it's still a great choice. Read more

JVC Everio GZ-HM550 review
The JVC Everio GZ-HM550's picture quality certainly cuts the mustard and we like some of its innovative features, but there are cheaper, easier-to-control camcorders available. Read more
