JVC Everio GZ-MG57 review

Reviews Released in September 2006 with little fanfare, the JVC Everio GZ-MG57 seems to do nothing more than fill a hole in JVC's hard-disk camcorder lineup. As you'd expect from a hard-disk-based model, it starts up relatively quickly.

JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review

Reviews As with all hard-disk camcorders, the small chassis means that you naturally find a good grip. Like these camcorders, the MG20 is hard disk-based. However, unlike the MC range, the MG models have fixed hard disks that cannot be removed from the...

Cowon Q5W review

Reviews Cowon's new Q5W is a hard disk-boasting, Wi-Fi-capable, touchscreen-rocking, Windows-powered, codec-loving metallic behemoth. If only there was a 160GB hard disk option available we'd be absolutely over the moon.

Humax LP32-TDR1 review

Reviews Humax has gone one step further than most manufacturers by adding a whole PVR into its latest bargain 32-inch LCD TV, so you can record your favourite shows straight to its built-in hard disk. The television does allow you to increase the...

Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 review

Reviews That goes double for camcorders which record directly to hard disk or DVD, since they need sufficient pixels to compress into a decent image. The resolution of the hard disk-based Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 -- 680,000 pixels -- falls into the...

Philips WAC3500D review

Reviews An 80GB hard disk sits inside the WAC3500D, to which it's possible to rip an entire CD collection into MP3 format. Since it can take an age to rip 1,500 CDs, you can drag and drop MP3s from your computer directly on to the system's hard disk, via...

Canon HG20 review

Reviews And as for performance, it's as good if not better than the Sony Handycam HDR-SR11, so it comes down to a preference for flash memory or hard-disk drive as your storage medium of choice. Conclusion An excellent choice for hard-disk-based HD...

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 review

Reviews These are exactly the type of people JVC is targeting with the Everio GZ-MG330, a hard-disk-based standard-definition shooter that's small enough to fit in even the tiniest of bags.You can pick up the MG330 online for around £230, but has it got...

JVC Everio GZ-MC200 review

Reviews The JVC GZ-MC200 uses a tiny 4GB internal hard disk drive to store digital video. In effect, you skip the part of the editing process where you use FireWire to transfer footage to a hard disk for editing.

Cowon A3 review

Reviews And yes, you saw VOB format in that list, meaning you can drag files of almost any ordinary DVD onto the player's hard disk, and it'll play -- no DVD ripping and no transcoding needed. With hard disk capacities of 30GB or 60GB -- costing around...

Hard-drive based MP3 players

Reviews The advantage of a hard-drive player over a flash-based or microdrive-based player is the sheer number of songs you pack onto a fully fledged hard disk. The disadvantages of a hard-disk player are its increased weight and slightly increased...

Buffalo DriveStation Duo review

Reviews Our final gripe is that the DriveStation Duo can't be extended by adding a separate USB hard disk. It costs a tiny bit more than ordinary USB hard drives, but the fact it uses two internal disks gives you added flexibility and peace of mind should...

Archos AV 700 TV review

Reviews It's also a fully functioning portable media player, able to display movies and photos and play back MP3s, and the USB-on-the-go function means you can even use its 40GB hard disk as a storage dump for your digital camera.

Loewe Connect 37 Media Full-HD+ DR+ review
