Canon's MD160 is the top model in the company's MiniDV line this year. It offers a palm-friendly design, a 35x optical zoom and admirable colour reproduction, but it struggles against the competition when it comes to low light

Canon DC10

Canon's DC10 has an almost identical design to its sibling, the DC20 -- the latter benefits from a higher resolution CCD for stills photography and a night mode. If you're used to MiniDV, you might find the DC10's footage disappointing, but casual users may well find the convenience of straight-to-DVD recording more than compensates

Canon HV10

Canon puts high-definition video recording in your pocket, although to make room in said pocket requires removing more than £800 from it. Still, that makes the Canon HV10 the cheapest, smallest HDV camcorder to date. The HV10 has more going for it than just this month's novelty value, if you can overlook some design quirks

Canon DC40

Canon's DC40 cements its place among the best of the DVD camcorders with its broad, useful feature set, zippy shooting performance, attractive design and good video quality. It does suffer from many of the same performance flaws as its competitors, but if your heart is set on recording to DVD, it's well worth a look

Canon MVX460

Canon's MVX460 is more compact than its entry-level MV models. It offers a larger, higher-resolution CCD sensor that provides 1-megapixel still images and better video resolution. Canon has also addressed some design issues from previous MVX models, making this a great compact camcorder, if don't need to shoot in low light

Canon DC20

The DC20 offers a f/1.8, 10x optical zoom lens, coupled with a single CCD whose image quality leaves something to be desired, particularly in low light. However, as with most DVD camcorders, what you sacrifice in features you regain in simplicity and hassle-free operation

Canon MV890

The Canon MV890's is not as sparse as its price suggests. The MiniDV camcorder is a surprisingly well-appointed model, which shares impressive core specs -- including a widescreen LCD and plenty of manual controls -- with Canon's more expensive models, the MV930 and its pricier MV960

Canon MV930

As a general-use holiday camcorder, it's hard to level any real criticism at the Canon MV930. Years of experience and the decreasing costs of components have enabled Canon to deliver a very well-made camcorder for just over £200. If you can resist the magpie allure of the new DVD and hard-disk models, the MV930 is a bargain

Canon MV960

Canon's MV960 is blessed with a palm-friendly design which includes a widescreen LCD, simplified controls and a 25x zoom -- one of the highest we've seen in an entry-level camcorder. It also delivers the same top-notch colour reproduction as its predecessor, the MV850i

Canon XL H1

At nearly £6,000, the XL H1 is by far the most expensive HD option in its class, featuring three 1.67-megapixel, 16:9-native, 1/3-inch CCDs. To those familiar with Canon's XL system, the XL H1 may prove the obvious choice. To others, its quirky design, lack of progressive-video capabilities and high price may be too much to put up with

Canon MV830i

The MV830i offers home and holiday videographers the tools they need to capture decent-quality video. Its amenities include a 20x optical zoom, photo capture and an Easy mode that caters to novices by automating just about everything.

Canon MVX350i

With good video quality, thanks to its megapixel CCD, a 20x optical zoom, loads of special effects and usable-in-a-pinch still-photo capabilities, the MVX350i is full featured for a MiniDV camera in its price range

Canon MVX45i

Canon hopes its MVX45i will attract buyers who want more than an entry-level camcorder can provide. And although it offers impressive features, such as manual exposure controls and optical image stabilisation, its low-light shooting will probably disappoint
