Panasonic HDC-SD10
If small size and low weight are important considerations, but you don't want the poor-quality video that's typical of pocket camcorders, you should consider the Panasonic HDC-SD10
Kodak Zi8
The Kodak Zi8 might not look much like a camcorder, but you'd be wrong to write it off as just a toy. While you're never going to get broadcast-quality video out of it, the Zi8 is compact, straightforward and capable of producing some relatively impressive recordings
Canon Legria HF200
The Canon Legria HF200 is more expensive than its rivals, but delivers a more extensive feature set. Although it lacks internal memory, the HF200 is also probably a better buy than its pricier and slightly classier-looking sister, the HF20
Sony Handycam HDR-SR8
The Sony HDR-SR8 and HDR-SR7, which has a smaller 60GB hard drive, are the Rolls Royce of movie cameras -- feeling like a million dollars, shooting like they're heading for Hollywood and handling like a dream. Tech-heads will need to look elsewhere, but everyone else will luxuriate in the effortlessly impressive high-definition movies – and probably struggle to fill that large hard drive
JVC Everio GZ-MC500
Not only does it look like a professional camcorder, but the MC500's performance matches its appearance. Instead of the more common single CCD, the MC500 uses three separate CCDs to capture a far better clarity of colour. The biggest benefit of the MC500, however, is the size of the thing -- it's tiny
Canon Legria FS200
Although its video isn't perfect, the Canon Legria FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. We'd like to see mechanical image stabilisation included, but, as long as you don't expect hi-def video quality from a standard-def camcorder, the FS200 is unlikely to disappoint
Toshiba Camileo H20
The Toshiba Camileo H20 is a solid, reliable and extremely easy-to-use camcorder that delivers good results for the price. We'd like to have seen a microphone jack and protected case included though
Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 has the potential to offer a killer combination of camera and camcorder at a budget price, but a range of performance issues and technical limitations mean that it falls some way short of being the ideal dual device
Samsung HMX-H106SP
The Samsung HMX-H106SP's interesting design doesn't offset the so-so video quality and performance. If you're set on a camcorder in the HMX series, the no-memory-included HMX-H100P is probably the best deal of the bunch
Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1
The Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 certainly looks the part, and has an attractive price to boot. Combined with a healthy, no-nonsense approach to filming, it has the potential to be the ideal budget hi-def option. Unfortunately, technical limitations and slow automated operation drag its overall performance down
