JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

Reviews The MG730 succeeds to a limited extent, but unfortunately suffers from the same problems as many of its standard-def competitors, such as the Sony Handycam DCR-SR85: it delivers merely average video quality with a high price tag.

Samsung VP-MX20 review

Reviews Samsung has applied this technology to a standard-def shooter in order to boost shooting times. At around £150, it's an affordable option for those who don't need high definition but want something a step up from the burgeoning mini-camcorder sector.

Sony PlayStation 3 (80GB) review

Photos: Exclusive Cowon O2 hands-on

Crave Though unlike last year's A3, the O2 doesn't allow you to record video directly to the device and it doesn't support high-def MKV content -- we tried, but it failed -- though we're told other high-def content is supported.
