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

"Does what it says on the box"
What I like:
Size, quietness of recordings and video and still quality.
What I don't like:
Standard battery life 50 mins
Review:
Firstly I've had many tape camcorders and this is a breath fresh air - all recordings indexed. How can Cnet give the GZ57 6.4 and this 5?? After reading all reviews I got this over the Sony 96 and Sony 505DVD.
Low light is ok and in manual better, daylight is great and stills at 6x4 print are fine.
£383 at Amazon I think it's a bargain, although a newer version's on its way.

Weak performance and lacklustre video quality make it hard to recommend this camcorder
Samsung SMX-F34
Has plenty of features for a budget camcorder, but its video quality isn't particularly impressive
