JVC Everio GZ-MC200 review

We've seen small camcorders before, but the MC200 ushers in a whole new generation of handheld camcorders that you can almost enclose in your palm. These suckers are small, really small. If you've been reluctant to take a camcorder on holiday because of the size of the things, you might be swayed by the MC200 -- it's the same size as a rolled-up pair of socks Read more

To those familiar with Canon's XL system, the XL H1 may prove the obvious choice.

Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-HC32 offers a powerful optical zoom, a low price tag, a compact design, friendly ergonomics and abundant manual adjustments. Only image quality spoils the party: be prepared for tame colours and some noticeable noise in lower-light settings Read more

Sony RDR-HX725 review

The HX725 offers the versatility of disc and hard drive recording, a full range of easy to use functions and superior style and build quality -- and recordings are impressively accurate to the original. It is lacking an integrated digital tuner though, and this exclusion causes usability and performance issues Read more
