  • Very easy to set up and use, well laid out, provides rich and detailed video capture, good battery life indicator, good battery life
  • Rather bulky and weighty, no mic socket, no video light, narrow dynamic range, stub-fingered may find LCD menu operation difficult

  • Razor-sharp HD footage, Neat digital features, Great screen, Easy handling
  • No manual exposure, Not cheap
  • A flexible Hi-Def camcorder that produces amazing images. OK, its ?1,000, but you get so much for your money.

  • Compact for HD camcorder; uses mainstream HDV codec enabling more editing options; good-quality videos; top-loading tape for easy access; HDMI port for best connectivity to HDTV.
  • Tradeoff of features for compactness; fixed viewfinder; manual dial adjustment instead of ring; small 2.7-inch LCD screen; connectivity ports all over the place; absence of 5.1 surround sound.
  • A compact, attractive MiniDV HD camcorder, although some features could have been better implemented.
