Typical price: £290
What is it: Waterproof standard-definition digital camcorder that records to SD card
What we think: Tiny, go-anywhere camcorder whose waterproofing and drop resistance more than make up for occasionally disappointing movies

| Review summary | Forget home movies, the Panasonic S10 is a weather- and drop-proof camcorder that's happier shooting in the surf, halfway up a mountain or in torrential rain. It's small, sexy and simple to use, although you'll need to avoid low light if don't want your movies to descend into a dull, grainy mess Read full review |
Convenient, well-designed camcorders that look pricier than they are, models in the Canon FS series -- FS11, FS10 and FS100 -- nevertheless deliver typical budget video in line with their price tags Read full review |
If you want the latest in cool toys, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1 certainly has the right gadget quotient. Once you look at the image quality, however, its allure dims quite a bit Read full review |
It's easy to forgive the Miniket for its sub-par image quality when you're watching footage back on the TV at home. Sitting on a sofa with a hot cup of tea, re-living the moment you leapt off a BMX jump and crashed spectacuarly is a joy. We hope that the next iteration of this camcorder brings better image quality. For now, at least, the Miniket is a novelty that will supplement, but not replace your existing sports camcorder Read full review |
