Review summary
|
Canon's HV20 camcorder is a great choice for HD-happy amateurs, but its low-light performance could have been better.
|
A solid hard-drive based HD camcorder, the Canon HG10 nevertheless has its share of annoying quirks.
|
One of a pair of Canon's first flash-based camcorders, the Canon Vixia HF100, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.
|
Despite an attractive price and some decent features, the frustrations of the Samsung SC-HMX10 outnumber its rewards.
|
Despite its trio of CCDs, the video quality and performance of the Panasonic HDC-SD9 are a bit too inconsistent.
|
An extremely minor upgrade from the HV20, the Canon Vixia HV30 remains a quality HDV camcorder with a couple of performance issues.
