Sony Handycam DCR-DVD7E video

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:00:46 +0000

It's cute and competent. For those looking for a straightforward point-and-shoot casual-use camcorder, it's hard to fault the 7E

Canon HR10 review

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 11:53:02 +0000

The Canon HR10 is camcorder that records to DVDs in the AVCHD format. It has an excellent complement of manual controls, including some nice image and digital effects, as well as Instant AF for changing the focus quickly. All in all, this camcorder produces some great video

Panasonic VDR-D310 review

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:47:02 +0000

The Panasonic VDR-D310 is the most high-end Panasonic DVD camcorder you can get. With a 10x Leica lens giving it a significant edge, it clearly appears to be designed for users who want high-quality video without investing the significant money required for hi-def

Archos 404 camcorder (30GB) review

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:02:01 +0000

Archos' compact, stylish 404 camcorder is a portable video player, a camera and a camcorder in one device. It delivers crisp photo display, colourful video playback and music sounds impressive, but hang on to your standalone camcorder

Panasonic SDR-H250 review

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:39:01 +0000

Panasonic brings a 3CCD hard drive camcorder to the table with the SDR-H250. It helpfully provides an option to record to a memory card and it offers many useful scene modes, but it will struggle to keep up with hi-def models

Blu-ray DVD recorders aren't in the UK yet, but Hitachi is already looking at a Blu-ray camcorder with a new, 80mm disc format

JVC Everio GZ-MG77 review

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:05:18 +0000

JVC's hard-disk-based GZ-MG77 has sacrificed some of its features for affordability -- it only has a single CCD, as opposed to its more expensive 3CCD sibling, the MG505, and the zoom comes nowhere near tape-based models. If you're a casual user, however, who wants to record straight to hard disk, it might just suffice

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 review

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 10:42:17 +0000

If you're shopping around for a low-end DVD camcorder without too many superficial features, the DCR-DVD205 could be the solution. While it's lacking in some basic connections, such as USB, and its image quality is no more than mediocre, it does offer widescreen video and reasonably fast autofocus

Canon DC10 review

Wed, 16 Aug 2006 14:36:17 +0000

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
