CNET reviews the JVC GZ-MG360 and writes, “In general, color reproduction is very good, displaying both subtle tones and brightly colored subjects with relative accuracy. However, like many tapeless standard-def camcorders, there are quite a lot of compression artifacts in the video.

PC Advisor reviews the Sony HDR-SR12 and writes, “Although the Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 is a very good HD camcorder, it costs far more than HD camcorders that deliver similar quality and features.

Camcorderinfo reviews the Samsung SC-MX20 and writes, “Unfortunately, The MX20 has poor color and plenty of noise and compression artifacting—certainly more than the competition. And it’s not much of a champ in low light either…

Pocket-lint reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “We’re 6-months on from the Ultra and we are basically looking at the same thing. In the meantime the pocket camcorder world has become a much busier place and critically, we are now looking larger screens and HD quality recording, for a similar price… [...]

Trusted Reviews reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “It’s no surprise that the Mino is being marketed alongside the Ultra, rather than as its replacement. Where it gains on style and pocket friendliness, it loses in holiday practicality thanks to the use of a rechargeable battery. So which of the two [...]

CNET UK reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD9 and writes, “Though the Panasonic HDC-SD9 is a good little camcorder, we think you’ll probably be happier in the long run by spending a little more for the competing Sony Handycam HDR-CX7 or one of the aforementioned Canons, given the software issues, inconsistent performance and video quality.” [...]

PC World reviews the DXG-566V and writes, “At 4.3 by 2.5 by 1.5 inches and 9 ounces (including battery), the DXG-566V is compact enough to carry anywhere. That, together with the low price, may make the DXG-566V a viable option for capturing sunny vacation scenes that you plan to share with friends over [...]

WashingtonPost reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD100 and writes, “There are other options if you want to stick with non-linear media (no tape), but don’t like the idea of having a huge hard drive inside your camcorder. The Panasonic HDC-SD100 is identical to the HDC-HS100, but records solely to SD/SDHC cards, reducing the overall size [...]

CNET reviews the JVC GZ-MG365 and writes, “…the JVC GZ-MG330, MG335, MG360 and MG365 are still practical, and useful camcorders for entry-level users who want to have a compact model for capturing everyday and event video without having to worry about running out of tape.

Pocket-lint has a review of the Kodak Zi6 and writes, “The Zi6 delivers where the Flip and Vado flounder, giving you good quality video in a compact form. This is also our biggest criticism of the Zi6: HD video processing puts much greater demands on your PC and this is true of moving, [...]

PC World reviews the Canon Vixia HF10 and writes, “The Canon Vixia HF10 isn’t perfect, but its balance of benefits and shortcomings tilts heavily toward benefits, helping it to a third-place finish on our comparison chart. The Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 beats this model on image quality, but the Canon Vixia HF10 gives you [...]

CNET reviews the Hitachi DZ-BD10HA and writes, “…unless you really like the convenience of the all-in-one design and don’t mind paying a premium for it, you might be better off with a flash- or hard-disk-based camcorder that docks to a DVD recorder if you really want PC-free DVD copies; that way you don’t [...]

PC World reviews the Canon Vixia HV30 and writes, “The mix of image quality, controls, frame-rate flexibility, and format compatibility makes the Canon HV30 camcorder a top choice–capturing first place on our comparison chart–for home movies and indie filmmaking.

PC Advisor reviews the Canon Vixia HF100 and writes, “We can’t argue with the Canon HF100E’s build quality or the resulting images and we like the bright LCD that makes it easier to see what you are shooting in bright outdoor conditions.

Camcorderinfo reviews the Sanyo Xacti HD1010 and writes, “While the HD1010 feels like a toy, it is truly a powerful piece of technology. Its video performance is outstanding for an ultra-compact camcorder and its manual control options are very impressive.

Pocket-lint reviews the Canon VIXIA HG21 and writes, “The fact that it needs to be connected to a power source when transferring footage off the camcorder to the computer and that the mic is awful, so you’ll need to upgrade straight-away.

CNET UK Reviews the Sony DCR-SR45 and writes, “Its compact, lightweight build is great for grab-and-go videos. The 30GB hard drive allows for plenty of storage, plus you can save video and stills to Memory Stick Pro Duo cards up to 8GB.

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Oregon Scientific ATC5K and writes, “Proper bullet cameras will cost you way more than one of these, so in that respect the ATC5K is something of a bargain.

Camcorderinfo reviews the Canon FS100 and writes, “The Canon FS100 isn’t the darling child we’ve come to expect from arguably the best high definition manufacturers out there. It’s cheap and light and fairly easy to use, but the video performance is nothing compared to its high definition cousins.

CNET UK reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “In the end, despite a couple of small gripes, we came away feeling good about the Mino. The more compact design makes the device even more pocket-friendly than the Ultra and the addition of the rechargeable battery will save you money in the [...]

CNET reviews the Canon FS100 and writes, “There’s really no advantage to having the memory built in, except for the convenience of not having to make sure a card is fast enough.

Camcorderinfo reviews the Sony DCR-SR85 and writes, “…if you want something traditional, that feels good in your hand and performs well, the SR85 is an excellent option. With so many manufacturers pushing for smaller camcorders, especially in the standard definition market, it’s almost refreshing to hold the Sony DCR-SR85 in your hand.

CNET reviews the JVC Everio GZ-MS100 and writes, “The JVC Everio GZ-MS100 should satisfy a majority of budget-conscious users who want a simple and small flash memory-card-based camcorder in a traditional horizontal chassis for getting videos up on the Web.

Camcorderinfo reviews the Panasonic SDR-H60 and writes, “The Panasonic SDR-H60 ($499 MSRP) has enough winning features to make it a viable choice for some consumers, but is definitely not the best overall in its class. It’s hard not to be impressed with a 50x optical zoom and 60GB of capacity on a camcorder [...]

CNET UK reviews the Canon VIXIA HG20 and writes, “An excellent choice for hard-disk-based HD recording, the HG20 gives the Sony HDR-SR11 a close run for its money and is a clear champion if you don’t like the Sony’s touchscreen interface.

CNET reviews the JVC GZ-MG730 Everio and writes, “The JVC Everio GZ-MG730 disappoints primarily because it’s overpriced, though its quality fares well compared with standard-def models like the SR85.

PC Advisor reviews the Sony HDR-CX11 and writes, “We were very impressed with the automated features such as face detection and the smile shutter as they ensured we ended up with consistently good results. The video picture quality is first-rate, too. A brighter LCD, an electronic viewfinder and some easier to use touchscreen [...]

CNET UK reviews the Kodak Zi6 and writes, “When you factor in that you have to buy an additional memory card, the added cost puts it up against a whole other class of products, such as the Aiptek Go-HD, which offer features like higher resolution stills and optical zoom rather than digital zoom. [...]

Trusted Reviews does a review the Canon VIXIA HF11 and writes, “…The greater data rate and extra memory are welcome, making a great camcorder even greater. However, the HF11 is currently priced at £800, where its direct predecessor can now be had for under £600, and its SDHC-only sibling the HF100 for closer [...]

Camcorderinfo reviews the Sony DCR-DVD810 and writes, “The tall design of the device isn’t very conducive for portability and the overall look of the DVD810 is unappealing and tired.

CNET UK reviews the Sony DCR-SR85 and writes, “Overall, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR85 is a good camcorder. The 60GB of storage means you can take it on holiday without worrying about running out of space. Plus, you can save video and stills to Memory Stick Pro Duo cards up to 8GB. The compact, [...]

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Samsung SC-HMX20 and writes, “The VP-HMX20 marks a sea change for Samsung. Whereas the majority of its previous models were firmly aimed at buyers on a budget, this one has image quality and features to vie with the best from the big household names in the [...]

Camcorderinfo reviews the Kodak Zi6 and writes, “Overall, the once or twice a year shooter who just wants a camcorder in their pocket on vacation will probably find the Zi6 a fine choice. It’s also not a bad option for high school or younger filmmakers who can’t afford (or be trusted) with a [...]

PC Advisor reviews the JVC GZ-HD6 and writes, “This is a good choice of camera if huge storage capacity is a big factor. The JVC Everio GZ-HD6EK produces good pictures and sound and has a comprehensive set of connection options including FireWire.

CNET reviews the Canon FS10 and writes, “In the continuum that runs from low-resolution, cheapo camcorders like the Creative Vado to high-quality, solid-state “prosumer” HD models like Canon’s own Vixia HF10, Canon’s line of SD-based camcorders–FS11, FS10, and FS100–falls exactly where you’d expect.

The Washingtonpost reviews the JVC GZ-MG330 Everio and writes, “When it comes to packing in great video performance, high capacity, and ease of use, the JVC GZ-MG330 is a winner. The footage won’t look as good as what you get from a high def camcorder and it won’t be as easy to use [...]

CNET reviews the Canon VIXIA HG20 and writes, “The Canon Vixia HG20 is an excellent HD camcorder that’s reasonably easy to operate out of the box and looks good, too.

PC World reviews the Panasonic HDC-HS9 and writes, “Considering the string of top-notch video cameras that Panasonic developed over the past several years–including the HDC-SD1, the VDR-D310 and the SDR-H200–the HDC-HS9 rates as a disappointment.

CNET UK reviews the Canon VIXIA HG21 and writes, “The Canon HG21 is an exceptional camcorder. We just wonder what the point of it is. With its giant hard drive, great-looking video and assorted high-end features, it’s worth the high price tag.

PC World reviews the JVC Everio GZ-HD40 and writes, “The JVC GZ-HD40 isn’t a bad HD camcorder–in fact, it’s pretty good. People seeking a tapeless camcorder that they can use with a modest PC today and a more powerful computer in the future may find the GZ-HD40’s multiple recording formats compelling.

PC World reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD100 and writes, “If the images from Panasonic’s HDC-HS100 equaled the camcorder’s great handling and usability, this model would be a clear winner.

InfoSync reviews the Sony HDR-SR12 and writes, “For the most part, the Sony HDR-SR12 displays an exceptional image, but this depends on the shooting environment. In areas where the light is just right, the video quality looks like b-roll in a feature film.

PC World reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “Given its size, the Flip MinoHD stands out with its good video quality, and it’s downright handy. Although the Flip MinoHD won’t suit everyone, if you’re like me and you enjoy keeping a camera on you at all times for whatever may come [...]

PC Authority reviews the JVC GZ-MG330 Everio and writes, “Compared with the poor video test results of the CG9, the JVC represents a great leap in quality for a small jump in money, but unfortunately, spend $300 less and you get an increase in resolution from 720 x 576 to 1280 x 720 [...]

PC Pro reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD100 and writes, “…serious professionals will be most interested in this model, particularly as it all comes in a package weighing under 400g, thanks to the use of SDHC Flash memory.

PC Pro reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “It’s an admirably straightforward camera to use and its reasonable quality makes it great for impromptu shooting, but there are some problems. The flip-out USB plug is awkward and won’t squeeze into a crowded panel of sockets, and the screen is a little [...]

Macworld reviews the Kodak Zi6 and writes, “With the introduction of the Kodak Zi6, the pocket-sized camcorder market got a lot more interesting. At $180, it’s priced the same as the Flip Mino but is—with its potentially greater storage, removable battery, larger LCD, and HD capabilities—the better camera.

InfoSync reviews the Canon VIXIA HG21 and writes, “With excellent joystick navigation, smooth menus and an image that rivals certain prosumer models, the Canon HG21 is certainly a worthwhile investment.

CNET Australia reviews the Canon VIXIA HF11 and writes, “The HF11 is a high definition flash memory-based camcorder, with support for SDHC cards. It ships with an 8GB card, but also features 32GB of on-board memory. That’s an upgrade from the HF10, which featured 16GB of on-board storage.

CNET reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “In the end, the MinoHD marks another step forward for Flip Video and mini camcorders in general. The device isn’t without its drawbacks: a relatively high price tag, no memory expansion slot, and a short-lived, nonremovable battery.

PC World reviews the Samsung HMX20C and writes, “One of the most interesting aspects of the VP-HMX20C is its gargantuan 1/1.8in CMOS sensor. By contrast, the VP-HMX10 (XSA)’s sensor was only 1/4.5 inches wide. While this doesn’t affect the resolution per se, it does allow for larger individual pixels, which helps to reduce [...]

Switched reviews the Pure Digital Flip Mino and writes, “The Flip Video Mino is almost $200, and yet the quality of the video is still well below what you’ll get with an entry level camcorder for just $50-$60 more. Though small, it’s still relatively thick for pockets, making the argument for using the [...]

CNET UK does a hands on review of the Samsung SC-MX20 and writes, “The camcorder is certainly small, nestling in the palm of the hand like a can of Coke, or rather, generic discount cola. The flip-out screen measures 69mm (2.7-inch) corner-to-corner. The Schneider-Kreuznach lens is protected by a manual lens cover, which is [...]

Switched reviews the Creative Vado and writes, “If either discretion or portability is of the utmost importance, then this is the only camera that’ll come in handy, since you’ll barely notice it in your pocket.
