Camcorders
Sanyo VPC-HD1000
A good price coupled with outstanding image quality – a good budget alternative to the Panasonic HDC-HS9

Sanyo VPC-HD700
High resolution stills and laudable quality for the money, but image stabilisation isn’t the best

Panasonic HDC-HS9
It may not be a looker, but in all other respects this Panasonic is a stunning camera

JVC GZ-MG330
Huge storage for the money, but quality can’t match the more expensive models in this group
Oct 7, 2008 12:29 PM
Canon HG10
Good quality optics and lots of storage, but not the most portable of camcorders
Oct 7, 2008 12:08 PM
Canon HF10
Impressive optical quality and storage space, though a touch expensive
Oct 7, 2008 11:16 AM
Canon HF10
Great image quality and plenty of enthusiast features for a very reasonable price

Samsung VP-HMX10
A good price for an HD camcorder, but poor design makes it awkward to use

Sanyo VPC-CG9
The smallest, cheapest camera on test, but unsurprisingly, it also has the poorest image quality

Canon HF100
Cheaper than the HF10, although you need to factor in the cost of storage cards

Toshiba Gigashot A100F
No match for Sony’s SR12 on features, but incredibly easy to use and an ideal ‘my first HD camcorder’

Sony HDR-UX7
A capable cam that'll take the knocks and matches it rival, the Panasonic HDC-SD1. It can’t quite better Canon’s HV20 on sheer performance though
Aug 29, 2008 9:52 AM
Sony HDR-SR12E
The marker has been laid down. Sony's pulled off another AVCHD stunner that will be hard to beat this year

Sanyo HD1000
Great video, tons of features, easy to use... if only there was a PAL-friendly version
