Review summary	Canon's latest entry-level camcorder, the MV960, is easy to use, affordable, and ideal for widescreen moviemaking, but low-light performance remains a problem Read full review	Canon's XH G1 includes the same technology as the pricier XL H1, but uses an interchangeable lens and a version of the H1's JackPack to drive down the cost. It's an excellent camcorder for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with a hard-to-beat price for what it offers Read full review	Canon's XH A1 is an excellent camcorder for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with hard-to-beat prices for what it offers Read full review	A great high-definition camcorder for deep-pocketed leisure shooters as long as you like the Sony Handycam HDR-HC7's touchscreen interface Read full review
