CamcorderInfo has a review of the Canon HV20 and writes, “The Canon HV20 is that rare camcorder that bursts onto the scene, and sets a new standard in its niche. This is not a perfect camcorder by any means, but it has an intelligently assembled set of features that make it a viable tool […]

CamcorderInfo has a review of the Canon ZR830 and writes, “The Canon ZR830 is without a doubt a pretty good DV camcorder at a pretty good price. The problem is, it’s step-up sibling, the ZR850 offers some worthwhile upgrades, and only costs a few dollars more - better video resolution (with a negligible […]

Canon MD160 Reviews
CNET Australia has a review of the Canon MD160 and writes, “With ample lighting, colours were very accurate and vibrant, and footage was sharp with responsive and quick focus. Once the lighting dims a touch, that starts to change. In normal mode, we saw a fair amount of noise when shooting indoors […]

CNET has a review of the Hitachi DZ-HS300A and writes, “In most other respects, the HS300A is your typical budget camcorder, and that’s bad news for a hard drive/DVD-based model. Its 1/6-inch 680,000-pixel sensor records 340,000-pixel video, which simply isn’t enough for the MPEG-2 compression algorithm to encode without significant degradation. Severe edge crawl […]

BusinessWeek has a review of the Sony HDR-SR1 and writes, “In my testing, after trying out the controls and finding them fairly straightforward, I generally let Sony handle such adjustments automatically. The automatic controls don’t disappoint. Even difficult high-definition shots using the Carl Zeiss lens, which offers 10 times optical and 80 times digital […]

PCPro has a review of the Archos 404 camcorder and writes, “The standout feature is the tiny camera lens on the rear of the unit, although quality isn’t brilliant, with a minuscule lens and low 640 x 480 resolution. Colours are a little washed out and detail is generally lacking, but then thinking of […]

CamcorderInfo has a review of the Sony HDR-HC7 and writes, “This is an excellent consumer camcorder that has the performance and features to make it a reasonable option as a backup for pros who need an inexpensive fallback or second cam, or a low-profile unit for tight spaces situations where a larger camcorder would […]

CNET has a review of the Canon ZR800 and writes, “Choosing among Canon’s new MiniDV lineup can be tough. If you plan on capturing still images, you should opt for the ZR850 since its 1-megapixel sensor makes a noticeable difference. On the other hand, if you definitely won’t capture stills, it might make sense […]

DV has a review of the Canon XH-A1 and writes, “Canon’s XL H1 set the resolution standard for sub-$10,000 camcorders, and the XH series camcorders uphold that standard at lower cost, weight, and size. The XH A1 offers all of the capability of the XL H1, except for lens inter-changeability and the professional Jackpack, […]

Digital Camera Info has a first impressions review of the Canon TX1 and writes, “The Canon TX1 is a great concept of a camera; it bridges the gap between digital cameras and camcorders with a real hybrid option that produces great results from both areas. It isn’t perfect though. The pre-production model I looked […]

Broadcast Newsroom has a review of the Sony HDR-FX7 and writes, “The proof is in picture quality and functionality. Personally, I feel the control ergonomics are better than the FX1, but the use of CMOS slightly – ever so slightly – is not quite as good as the CCD based FX1. Many people I […]

Broadcast Newsroom has a review of the Canon XH-G1 and writes, “The XHG1 is certainly not light on options and features; indeed, aside from interchangeable lenses there is very little that isn’t shared between the XHG1 and its bigger brother the XLH1. Whether this means the price point for the XHG1 is too high […]

CNET Australia has a review of the Panasonic HDC-SD1 and writes, “The image quality was excellent with no visible compression artefacts during playback, with the only blemish we could find being a slight fringing on the edges of some red objects. Zooming in and out is slower than in most other consumer camcorders we’ve […]

Engadget had a chance for a hands-on preview of the Panasonic SDR-S10 at Panasonic’s PMA booth, and writes, “Despite being the “world’s smallest” SDHC camcorder, turns out it’s actually far larger than we originally imagined; and we weren’t won over by the fact that actually holding and using it is pretty awkward (there’s a […]

CamcorderInfo has a first impressions review of the Panasonic SDR-S10 and writes, “The SDR-S10 is a sexy little camcorder. If you’re looking for a device that achieves the impossible – i.e. slipping into a woman’s pants pocket – this camcorder may appeal to you. It offers Panasonic’s manual control suite in a svelte, rugged, […]

CNET has a review of the Archos 404 camcorder, giving it a 7.7 out of 10: “Videos looked lovely on the colorful, 3.5-inch LCD screen: there was no jerkiness or overpixilation during viewing tests, sound synced up perfectly, and the screen was sufficiently large for lengthy (one to two hours) viewing. However, after we […]

CamcorderInfo has a review of the Canon ZR850 and writes, “The Canon ZR850 is shaping up to be one of the best budget buys of the year. The video quality in bright light was clearly better than the other ZRs, not just in resolution but in color performance as well. The big choice you’ll […]

PCAuthority has a review of the Toshiba Gigashot GSC-R60 and writes, “The Gigashot simply feels too much like a glorified camera phone. Even though it is capable of taking some passable images under strict manual supervision, it unfortunately can’t keep up with other hard-drive based video cameras when it comes to automatic use. … […]

CNET reviews the Canon ZR830 and writes, “For a camcorder in this price range, we liked the video we captured with the ZR830. In decent lighting, the ZR830 captured relatively accurate colors and reasonably sharp footage. … If you’re looking for a tape-based camcorder, you’ll likely be pleased with the ZR830, but given the […]

PCWorld has a review of the Panasonic HDC-SD1 and writes, “When we tested the HDC-SD1, no video editing software supported the format, but Sony says it will offer a free update this spring to allow its Vegas video editor to import such files. You’ll also need a very powerful computer to edit the video […]
