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

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

Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 review
Sony may not be the first manufacturer to enter the hard drive camcorder market -- that distinction goes to JVC's Everio models. But with excellent video quality and fluid operation, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 puts all but the more expensive JVC 500 series models, as well as Sony's own DVD-based models, to shame 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

Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 review
At the top of Sony's MiniDV camcorder line, the compact Handycam DCR-HC96 earns its place with excellent video quality, a full suite of manual and automatic functions and above-average photo quality. Points are deducted for a small, fiddly LCD, but overall an excellent choice Read more

Sony DCR-PC55 review
A stylish shooting companion that's small and light enough to fit in your trouser pocket, the DCR-PC55 also provides most of the capabilities of larger counterparts. Unfortunately, it compromises on video quality Read more

Sony Mobile HD Snap Camera MHS-PM1 review
Other mini camcorders may shoot slightly better video, but the Mobile HD Snap Camera MHS-PM1 has plenty going for it. Chief among its attractions are its ability to shoot video at a 1080p resolution, and an appealing and cleverly conceived design that includes a swivelling lens 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

Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 review
The Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 offers a powerful optical zoom, a low price tag, a compact design, friendly ergonomics and abundant manual adjustments. Only image quality spoils the party: be prepared for tame colours and some noticeable noise in lower-light settings Read more
