Review summary	Canon's new MiniDV top model, the MD160, continues the company's tradition of offering affordable, easy-to-use widescreen movie-making, though low-light performance is still subpar 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	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	The Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 is an excellent high-definition camcorder from a video perspective, but it's less satisfying if you're an audio control freak Read full review
