Review summary	The Aiptek AHD200 merits its HD sticker by shooting 720p footage, but it won't be winning any filmmaking prizes. The stripped-down feature set at least makes operation easy with this no-frills shooter, for which image quality comes second to supreme affordability Read full review	The Samsung VP-HMX20 impressed us with the quality of its video even in low light, making this more than just a good-looking stylish model. We'd like more manual control -- and more subtle control over the zoom -- but it's so easy to use that we can look past that to see how good this camorder is Read full review	Sony's forte is high-quality, cutting-edge technology delivered in highly desirable, stylish consumer products. That describes the TG3E perfectly. Serious videographers may scoff at some of its omissions and weaknesses, but for non-experts happy to plug their camcorder straight into their HDTVs, it's excellent Read full review	Canon's dual flash-based camcorder, the Canon HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package Read full review
