DVDs were never a perfect solution for direct recording of video with a camcorder. The medium makes even less sense now with hard disk drives and flash memory models reasonably priced and capable of much more video to be stored in a much smaller packages. About the only advantage camcorders like the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650, [...]

Camcorders are light and easy handling are good for consumers who are hoping for a special recording device without compromising on quality. JVC, no digital cameras, but they certainly offer a decent selection of flash memory cameras. Consumers likely to check one of the HM models are offered as the JVC GZ-HM320, because both the [...]

If you dream of getting a mini-telescope with video recording to capture distant videos then awake as Panasonic SDR-S50 is launched. It’s like a mini telescope to standard definition video recording of distant objects due to its huge 70x zoom lens. You need a tripod to support, not a big problem. However, the camcorder does [...]

A follow-up to the CX100, the Sony Handycam HDR-CX110, CX150 XR150 and represent low-priced HD Sony triumvirate. They differ only by color and storage – the CX110 has no built-in memory, the CX150 has 16GB built in, and the XR150 is equipped with a 120GB hard drive (and therefore necessarily larger than the other two) [...]

The Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V has full manual feature set for video and even though it is not nice, but the geotagging is definitely nice here. The autofocus system of the camcorder performs quite well. The Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V the menu system can be tedious at times, but no useful audio controls and an air filter [...]

There’s a lot to like about Canon’s entry level Vixia HF R series of high-definition camcorders, including the user interface – which is better than its more expensive brother – and his microphone and headphone jacks, which are a rare find in this class. But these models will give me flashbacks to the early days [...]

At first glance, the Samsung HMX-H200 does not seem massively unlike many other camcorders on the market. Like the vast majority of the models we’ve seen lately, the HMX-H200 is a small, sturdy barrel shape with a fold out LCD screen with 1080p resolution, high-definition video, mid-range (4.7- megapixel) photo quality and a number of [...]

Sony can generally be counted, I discovered, to put out a pretty decent camcorder, and not charge an arm and a leg to do. Sure, there are exceptions in both directions, some very unfortunate cases, when an exception in both directions at once, but today said purpose will be fine. Today we talk about the [...]

After seeing the golden years of popularity, pocket camcorder facing stiff competition from point-and-shoot cameras can even record 1080p videos. But that does not mean the pocket camcorders completely avoided from the market. Samsung has recently launched a new 1080p camcorders – HMX-E10. On the specs front, the Samsung HMX-E10 has a rotating lens that [...]

Although most consumer electronics products, Toshiba’s commitment to the higher end of their respective markets, camcorders tend to be clear value oriented. The Camileo H30 will not break the mold, with the sub-$ 250 price, but it does offer a few features not normally associated with this inexpensive camcorders. To start, shooting HD, though Toshiba [...]
