Review summary	The Canon Legria HF S10 is an excellent flash-based, prosumer, high-definition camcorder. The lack of an eye-level viewfinder may put some off though, while others will find the almost identical, but cheaper, S100 a better buy 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	The hard-drive-based version of the HDR-HC7, the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7E finally delivers a cutting-edge HD video experience, complete with great video and compatibility frustrations Read full review
