Image quality is reasonable, but there are far better cameras available for less.

The A700 has excellent image quality, but is let down by design quirks and the high price.

Cheaper than the HF10, although you need to factor in the cost of storage cards

Good performance and handling, low price and far better quality than any digital compact.

Good quality optics and lots of storage, but not the most portable of camcorders

A good price for an HD camcorder, but poor design makes it awkward to use

An above-average all-rounder that adds 720p recording to an already attractive mix

Good value thanks to a decent 18-70mm kit lens and camera-based anti-shake

A stylish update to a phenomenal phone, but battery life and the bundled GPS software weigh it down

A good range of business features are slightly let down by the form factor.

An impressive paperback replacement with a remarkable display: it’s only let down by the unintuitive software.

Impressive optical quality and storage space, though a touch expensive

A great value camcorder that’s capable of some decent results.

Great design, great photos and some clever features, but it struggles to justify the high price.

A decent machine with plenty of power, but it’s not earth shattering in terms of features and value.
