Sony Handycam DCR-SX30E review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:20:01 +0000

The Handycam DCR-SX30E camcorder is a good buy for those reluctant to make the leap to HD just yet. It offers a good feature set and decent standard-definition video quality for a reasonable outlay, while being far more configurable than similarly priced HD models

Samsung HMX-H106SP review

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:08:02 +0000

With a 64GB solid-state drive, as well as an SDHC card slot, the high-definition HMX-H106SP is a robustly built, compact camcorder. Its video quality isn't the best we've seen and its autofocus can be rather slow, but it benefits from an LCD touchscreen and well-organised menus

Sony Handycam HDR-XR520VE review

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:55:01 +0000

Despite a relatively awkward user interface and a high price tag, the Handycam HDR-XR520VE is a great hi-def camcorder. It records first-rate video to an ample 240GB hard drive, offers great performance and sports a consumer-friendly feature set, including built-in GPS

Panasonic SDR-H80 review

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:36:02 +0000

Whether you want to film the moon and stars or just someone very far away having a nosebleed, the compact Panasonic SDR-H80's 70x zoom will let you do it. Its standard-definition video won't blow you away, but it offers loads of storage and its price is reasonable too

Sony Handycam HDR-CX100 review

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:26:02 +0000

The compact, flash-based Handycam HDR-CX100 has a boxy but pleasant design and shoots decent video, performing particularly well in low light. Whether or not it's right for you depends on how significant a factor size is, as you can get better-equipped but larger models for the same price

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 review

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:12:02 +0000

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 is a compact camera with a sleek sense of style. It packs a 1/1.72-inch 14.7-megapixel CCD and has satisfyingly wide 28mm wideangle f/2.8 Leica lens. But despite all of its slick styling we felt the FX150 had a few hairs out of place when we took a closer look

Sony Handycam DCR-SR85 review

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:42:02 +0000

The Sony Handycam DCR-SR85's 60GB of storage means you can take it on holiday without worrying about running out of space. Plus, you can save video and stills to Memory Stick Pro Duo cards up to 8GB, making it a 'hybrid' camcorder. It's easy to operate, too, thanks in part to a responsive, 69mm (2.7-inch) touchscreen LCD

Sony Handycam DCR-SR45E review

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:26:02 +0000

The best thing about the Sony Handycam DCR-SR45E is the touchscreen -- and the compact size, and probably the price, too. It is still a basic camcorder, however, with only standard-definition videos that won't appear that sharp if played back on a full-size TV screen

Panasonic HDC-SD9 review

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:30:02 +0000

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 is one of the smallest and lightest full-size camcorders we've tested, and yet it still manages to pack in a good number of features -- you can even manually adjust aperture and shutter speed, which is unusual in this class

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 review

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:06:02 +0000

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T700 aims to improve your picture-sharing experience by giving you not only a well-rounded point-and-shoot camera, but also a portable digital photo album. It's able to store up to 40,000 images and you can view them on its gorgeous 89mm touchscreen
