Tiny video recorder for the YouTube generation

Blu-ray bummer.

Records HD video to Blu-ray discs. Works with external mics.

Disappointing picture quality. Can't edit video on the Mac. Bulky.

. Recording to Blu-ray disc is a first, but it doesn't make up for bad-looking video that you can't edit. Compared to HD camcorders like the Canon HV20 (5 out of 5 stars, Dec/07, p68) or the Panasonic HDC-SD1 (4 out of 5 stars, Jan/08, p59), the DZ ...

Beautiful pictures, befuddling production.

Beautiful HD picture. Records video files to SDHC memory card. Respectable battery life. Works with external mics ; No headphone jack to monitor audio. No accessory shoe for add-ons. Capturing footage is slow in iMovie. Storing video requires lots of ...

No headphone jack to monitor audio. No accessory shoe for add-ons. Capturing footage is slow in iMovie. Storing video requires lots of hard drive space

. Panasonic's HDC-SD1 captures great pictures, but using iMovie '08 to capture and store the footage to your hard drive takes too long and can quickly fill up even monster-sized drives. You probably won't mind these problems if you only edit movies ...

Shooting and editing video doesn't get much easier - no cables required.

Low price. Absolute ease of use. Decent image quality.

No battery meter. Audio quality could be better.

. The Flip Video Ultra is simply perfect for folks who want the kind of immediate gratification they would normally get from watching television, making this a perfect gift for aspiring videographers and anyone seeking instant video enlightenment. It ...

The consumer HD camcorder to beat.

Amazing image. Works with external mics. Smallish form-factor. Footage works with all video editors. Great value for price ; Tape will soon be obsolete

Tape will soon be obsolete

. Ready to take the dive into HD video? You won't go wrong with the HV20.

High-def, hard drive storing, 1080i-capable camcorder misses the mark.

Hard drive stores five hours of video. Works with external mics. Nice manual focus ring.

Expensive. Not-so-sharp imagery. Bad image stabilization. No headphone jack. Footage hard to edit in Final Cut. Not fully iMovie '08 compatible.

. We love the HD7's roomy hard drive, but the camera's sky-high price and subpar image quality should make you think twice before buying. If you plan to edit video in anything other than iMovie HD 6, we'd recommend skipping the Everio HD GZ-HD7 ...

No larger than a single-scoop cone, Sanyo's handheld wonder does an impressive job with photos and standard-definition video.

Compact. Easy to use. Good still image and video image quality.

A bit on the slow side for still photos. Still photos suffered in dim lighting.

. Given our tendency to want to record so many of life's moments - even the trivial or goofy ones - it's nice to have a versatile, portable camera like the Xacti VPC-CG65. And when you're not shooting, it fits easily in your pocket or bag.

Adobe Creative Studio 3's industry-leading website builder is now both streamlined and Universal.

More Photoshop integration. Spry, which is drag-and-drop Ajax bling. Universal binary ; Not many new features for the money. GoLive's dead - if that counts as a bad thing

. If your Mac has Intel inside and you make your bacon with Dreamweaver, CS3 will pay for itself. But if you're reasonably happy using one of the previous two versions of Dreamweaver (MX or MX 2004, aka version 8), hold off until you get a new Mac or ...
