Typical price: £210
What is it: A hardy rock of a camcorder for casual party or holiday use
What we think: MiniDV camcorders are still in the game. This is an extremely capable camcorder that captures well in brightly lit environments and doesn't stumble too hard when dusk falls. At this price there's not much to complain about

Drive motor noise!
Review:
Everything about this camcorder promised to be a great tool for the amateur user, but when I purchased it (despite information that Canon has problems with its drive motor noise in earlier series) I was disappointed with this. The camera has great handling, LCD and functionality, but when I started to record the awful motor noise ruined everything. If there is no outside sounds when recording (silence in the room when recording my baby son sleeping for example) the camcorder records this motor noise. Unacceptable! I returned it.
