By Mike Perlman

We got our hands on the Panasonic HDC-TM10, the current

Panasonic SDR-S26

Panasonic SDR-SW21 Review

By Mike Perlman

The waterproof Panasonic SDR-SW21 gets a new look for 2009. But is that all she wrote? Read the full Panasonic SDR-SW21 review here to find out.

Lived up to its rugged claims. Compact and portable. Great manual controls

Standard-definition video quality is so 2003. Almost entirely unchanged from last year's Panasonic SDR-SW20. Uninviting interface

That's not to say there aren't any new features, which we'll get to later on. It's just that the design potion of this camcorder is probably the most drastic change, which is a sign that a manufacturer didn't want to toil much with the inner workings. ...

Camcorder Legria FS200

Canon FS200 review

By Mike Perlman

We take Canon's entry-level memory card camcorder for a spin. Does it treat us to a joyride, or are we forced to endure some rickety roads? Read the full Canon FS200 review to find out.

Highly compact chassis. Easy to use. Great menus

Unimpressive video quality. Skimps on features. Records to memory cards only

Despite its whittled architectural attributes, we liked the Canon FS200's overall design. The oversized Zoom toggle provided plenty of gripping ground and shifted smoothly so as not to hinder our operation with choppy movement. We also liked the large ...

Panasonic HDC-SD10

How light is too light? Panasonic is testing that hypothesis with the Panasonic HDC-SD10 and Panasonic HDC-TM10, the world's current lightest high-definition camcorders.

high-definition camcorders at CES as well, but apparently they were simply not light enough. Panasonic had significantly reduced the overall size and weight of the two aforementioned camcorders, but in an age where small is the new large regarding ...

Canon Vixia HF200 / Legria HF200

Canon Vixia HF200 review

By Mike Perlman

The SDHC card-chomping HF200 high-definition camcorder wowed us along with the rest of Canon's 2009 HD lineup. Read the full Canon Vixia HF200 review to find out why.

Great overall video quality. Awesome features for its class. Best menus from here to Timbuktu

Limited external controls. No viewfinder. Noisy in certain low light environments

Handling the Canon Vixia HF200 was tantamount to a lazy canoe ride down a slumbering river. Our hand melded with the pronounced grip side and plush hand strap combination and our fingers seemed to align seamlessly with the oversized zoom toggle and ...

Canon Legria FS22

Canon FS22 Review

By Mike Perlman

Canon's latest camcorder is keeping standard-definition alive and kicking. Is this the best SD camcorder on the market? Read here for the full Canon FS22 review.

Highly compact body. Good overall video quality. Decent shooting features

Limited external controls. Internal battery chamber. Pricey

featured a rear-mounted battery bay, which supports the largest compatible pack on the market since there is no capacity restriction. We dug the Canon FS22's front-mounted microphone over the DCR-SR47's top-mounted mic because our fingers couldn't ...

Sony DCR-SR47

Sony DCR-SR47 Review

By Mike Perlman

We take Sony's pint-size entry level HDD camcorder and give it the runaround. Does it have what it takes? Find out in our full Sony DCR-SR47 review.

Compact size. Great HDD capacity and handy Memory Stick option. Easy to use

Unimpressive image quality. Limited features. Short battery life

We liked the Sony DCR-SR47's handling, thanks to its internal HDD ledge and fat zoom toggle. For a super compact camcorder, there was plenty to grab onto. We weren't too keen on the DCR-SR47's hand strap as it dug into our hand and failed to provide ...

Panasonic HDC-HS300

Panasonic HDC-HS300 review

By Mike Perlman

We took Panasonic's top HD commander for a stroll down Broadway. Will it kick-line the competition into oblivion? Read the full Panasonic HDC-HS300 review here.

Great architecture. Chock full of ports. Enhanced manual controls

Mediocre video quality and poor photo quality. Terrible AC adapter and DC input setup. LCD screen is too small

Across the board, the interface had us stymied. Take the e-mail client, for instance. While typing a message, you can delete a character by pressing "back" or "Del." But if you want to delete an entire message, you have to use the left soft key, which ...

Canon Legria HF-S10

Canon Vixia HF S10 review

By Mike Perlman

The wait is finally over for Canon's premiere Full HD camcorder beast. Check out our exclusive Canon Vixia HF S10 review here.

Great video quality in bright and low light. Built like a miniature tank. Oodles of shooting features, including Cine mode and multiple frame rates

Design has the potential to be more omnipotent. Certain low light environments are too noisy. Short battery life

That's not to say the Canon Vixia HF S10 is the camcorder to end all camcorders. From a design standpoint, the HF S10 looks as though Canon fused a 2.7-inch LCD onto the side of a giant lens barrel and called it a day. Aside from a sexy concoction of ...

CANON HF20

Canon Vixia HF20 review

By Mike Perlman

Canon's new ultra compact camcorder rocked our world, and we think it will rock yours too. Awesome HD video in the palm of your hand? Read the full Canon Vixia HF20 review here.

Great video performance. Excellent features. The best menus system in the biz

Skimps on external controls. No viewfinder

We were very impressed with the Canon Vixia HF20's construction, especially the cushy felt hand strap. The pronounced right grip panel blanketed our palm with ergonomic comfort and the little engine felt surprisingly secure in our hand. The oversized ...
