Typical price: £550
What is it: A small hard-disk-based camcorder with 30GB hard drive and 10x optical zoom
What we think: There's a long way to go before this format is ready to compete with MiniDV, but if a compact size matters above all things, this might be worth a look

"Not up to the quality that one would expect for the price. I sold it after one session."
What I like:
Not much
What I don't like:
Poor video imaging and lack of response from automatic processes
Review:
I was attracted by the HD storage but soon lost interest after noting the slow response to changing conditions. The loss of image quality in transition to an editing suite was frankly appalling. Poor purchasing judgement on my part, I should have paid more attention to reviews.
