Sony HDR-SR12 Review at Digital Trends

Digital Trends reviews the Sony HDR-SR12 and writes, “The Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 is a slightly mixed bag with the ledger heavily weighted to the positive. Full HD 1920 x 1080I videos taken outdoors were terrific and they’re solid indoors when there’s enough light. Try shooting in very dim rooms and you’ll have problems […]

JVC Everio GZ-MS100 Hands-on Review at CamcorderInfo

CamcorderInfo has a hands-on review of the JVC Everio GZ-MS100 and writes, “he 35x optical zoom far exceeds than Sony’s 4x and the Flip’s complete lack of optical zoom. The Everio GZ-MS100 has a horizontal design, rather than the upright design of the Flip and the Sony NSC-GC1. It’s pocket-sized (for a large […]

JVC HD GZ-HD3 Review at PC Advisor

Sony HDR-UX20 Review at CamcorderInfo

CamcorderInfo reviews the Sony HDR-UX20 and writes, “The Sony HDR-UX20 ($999 MSRP) is certainly not the best value in high definition camcorders. Don’t misunderstand, it has a lot of great things going for it. First and foremost, the UX20 records to three separate media: DVD, an 8GB internal flash drive, and removable MemoryStick […]

Canon Vixia HF100 Camcorder Review at CamcorderInfo

CamcorderInfo reviews the Canon Vixia HF100 and writes, “The Canon HF100 ($899 MSRP) is a solid performer with great manual controls and the ease of use that beginners crave. However, it may not be the most economical choice for most consumers. The camcorder only records to SD and SDHC memory cards. Now, don’t […]

Toshiba Gigashot A100F Review at Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint reviews the Toshiba Gigashot A100F and writes, “Controls are relatively simple and you are not overwhelmed with buttons, with many of the options being accessed through the screen. The screen also acts as the power on/off, which means all you have to do is flip it out and within a few seconds […]

Canon Vixia HF10 Review at CNET UK

CNET UK reviews the Canon Vixia HF10 and writes, “Canon may not have been first out of the gate with a flash-based camcorder — or second, or third — but its debut model, the £700 high-definition HF10, gets it right the first time. A sleek black compact model with a well-rounded feature set, […]

Sony HDR-SR10 Review at CNET Australia

CNET Australia reviews the Sony HDR-SR10 and writes, “Our larger criticism of the SR10 is an ergonomic one, and as such it’ll vary depending on your arm strength, how long you’re going to be shooting for, and how large your hands are. We found the SR10’s natural position in our hands to be […]

Canon XH A1 Review at Digital Arts

Digital Arts reviews the Canon XH A1 and writes, “…the XH-A1 is a very capable HDV camcorder. It’s based around a trio of CCDs with 1.67 megapixels apiece – enough for the full 1,440-x-1,080 resolution of HDV2. Its fixed Canon lens has a very healthy 20x optical zoom and three rings for focus, […]

Aiptek DV Z300 Review at PC Advisor

PC Advisor reviews the Aiptek DV Z300 and writes, “At first glance, Aiptek’s plasticky and flimsy Pocket DV Z300HD-V is a lightweight camcorder whose style reflects its inexpensive price tag…The lightweight Aiptek Pocket DV Z300HD-V, which features a metallic blue and chrome casing, feels plasticky and fairly flimsy – in particular with regards […]

Canon HG10 Review at Australian PC Authority

Australian PC Authority reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “The HG10 certainly has its work cut out, but a quick glance at the HG10’s specifications shows immediate promise. It has the same 1/2.7in CMOS with 2.96 megapixels as the HV20, the same lens, and matching optical image stabilisation. Instead of tape, of course, […]

Sanyo Xacti HD700 Review at PopPhoto

PopPhoto reviews the Sanyo Xacti HD700 and writes, “If you’re in the market for a pocket-sized HD camcorder, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700 ($429, street) should place near the top of your list. The digital video camera, which Sanyo touts for both its 720p HD video capture and 7.1-megapixel still capabilities, offers excellent video […]

Creative Vado Review at Laptop Mag

Laptop Mag reviews the Creative Vado and writes, “It doesn’t take a camcorder expert to see that the new Vado pocket-sized camcorder from Creative ($99 for 2GB) is strikingly similar to the wildly popular Pure Digital Flip Camcorder (Ultra Series) ($149 for 2GB). Though Flip is rumored to be coming out with a […]

JVC GZ-MG330 Everio Review at HardwareZone

HardwareZone reviews the JVC GZ-MG330 and writes, “JVC’s new Everio GZ-MG330 camcorder is so small and light that we barely noticed the difference when we chucked it into our bags - that’s how light this beauty of a camcorder is. It’s also the main draw for this camcorder, as you can bring it […]

Sony HDR-TG1 Review at Engadget

Engadget reviews the Sony HDR-TG1 and writes, “Overall, the TG3E is a winner of a product as long as you’re setup to deal with the AVCHD file format. In other words, you should factor in the cost ($100 and up) of a proper AVCHD video editing software package with the purchase of the […]
