JVC GR-DA30US MiniDV Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom

I bought this camera to video my daughter as she grows up. It is easy to use and very simple to set up. The picture quality is fairly good.
The only problems with it are it doesn't come with a case and it doesn't come with a firewire cable. The cable only costs a dollar, and I can't see why one wasn't included. read more..

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black)

What a great gadget! This product is everything it is claimed to be. Can be used right out of the box. E-mailing videos? No problem! Posting to YouTube? No problem! Marvelous natural light videos. Editing software limited but for 90% of my needs the camera's capabilities will suffice. If more editing is needed, you'll have to switch to another product such as Microsoft MovieMaker. (If only t read more..

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom (Blue)

Product works well.. the touch sensor took some getting used to.. still photos are a little difficult as the camera does not compensate for hand shakes. otherwise it works perfectly. read more..

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Orange)

I have had my flip ultra for about one month. I really like it! It's small size makes me grab it and bring it with me everywhere. The quality of the video is great for everyday recording. Even night video is surprisingly clear. I LOVE the simplicity of the flip. I looked into the mino and the ultra and I picked the ultra because it felt better in my hand. The mino really was too thin for me. I alr read more..

Sanyo Xacti HD1000 4MP MPEG4 High Definition 1080i Camcorder with 10x Optical Zo

I just purchased this unit knowing it was becoming obsolete as far as the model for Sanyo. I would have to say if you consider the price, functionality, options, quality and size, this is a great deal!

My observations:

1. It is Mac compatible, expect in the "highest" HD movie recording setting. There are plug-ins that allow you to playback the video on your Mac, but for i read more..

Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (White)

This is a great camera for everyday events and things. It is a tad pixulated but I deal with it because it is so easy! I don't like the buttons and how easy it is to accidentally press to stop or start. I have, more then once, been in the middle of recording and lightly tapped the middle button and it stops. I wish they weren't so sensitive. But upload to computer to DropShots is so quick and easy read more..

Canon ZR950 1.07MP MiniDV Camcorder with 48x Optical Zoom

I just bought this and am going to return it to Amazon. I bought this to replace ZR200. This is really noisy. There is just too much noise with the soccer game and piano recital. The price is good. Now I have to shop for another one. read more..

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Pink)

I have a new baby and she was my main motivation for purchasing this camera. I can just grab the little thing and start recording, upload and email to family and friends very quickly and easily. Sometimes I have trouble getting the record button to start and stop. Not sure if it is just me or the the actual device? All in all, it was worth the purchase, for ease alone. read more..

Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera

It is small and very easy to use. I just plug the USB to my Mac, and can instantly play out the .mov from QuickTimes. It was great! I will get a few as gifts for people.

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (White)

Firstly, this is not a hi end camcorder....and people shouldn't expect it to be.

What this is is a good, low-priced, easy to use point and shoot recorder that doesn't require much in the way of technical skills. I've used this for several months now and I'm quite content with it. The zoom really doesn't work great because of the resolution but thats ok with me. The quality of the read more..

Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG9 9MP Flash Memory Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom (Black)

Nice camcorder, very small and the video quality are great for everyday use. Taking pictures is very easy, but when you hit the shutter, there is a one second lag while the camera switches from video to picture.

My biggest complain is that it does not use the standard mini USB connectors, forcing you to carry one more cable. Other than that, I would recommend this camera or newer mode read more..

Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image

Nice quality and color purity. No focus hunting.

This is a first real full HD, unlike fake anisotropic 1440x1080 for previous models.

24p and 30p are impractical ones, video is recorded in 60i anyway. I'd rather see fully progressive 30 fps video instead. Making field deinterlace (even-odd-even-odd) makes nice 60fps footage with half vertical resolution. I'm downscaling t read more..

Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black)

Excellent camcorder for quick videos. Easy to upload. Not great on zoom but does take good video. VERY EASY TO USE! read more..

Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabili

I bought this camera as a replacement for a Canon HV20 which had been dropped and broken. The cameras are nearly identical in function and feel. The videos are very high quailty as are the still images. I use this mostly for family videos, football, baseball, etc... Great picture when viewed on a 1080p capable flat screen through the HDMI cable. Overall very pleased with my purchase. read more..

Panasonic PV-GS39 MiniDV Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom

I wanted a camcorder for my trip to India and did not have enough time to research into it. So I went to circuit city and bought one of the returned camcorder for a bargain. And what an amazing deal it was!

I have had this camcorder for over two years now and I would like to point out that this camcorder functions just as good as it did when I bought it. I have has absolutely no issue read more..

Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Advanced Zoom (Silver)

I bought a JVC Everio GZ-MG155 about one year ago, and was never completely satisfied with the image quality, it was not as sharp as I expected. I decided to give a try with the Canon FS100 since all my digital still cameras had been Canon and I loved the images and colors they produce.
Well, thanks to the Canon FS100 I realized my JVC Everio was not in fact that bad at all...
I reco read more..

Panasonic PV-GS500 4MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Z

I'm not interested in technical jargon to tell me if something is supposed to perform for me. I'm only interested in what I see or hear.

I purchased this camcorder 3 years ago to use for my media business and general purposes. All the reviews and stats basically said that for average consumer's and average consumer price, this camcorder delivered professional results. I have also a read more..

Aiptek A-HD 720P 5MP CMOS High Definition Camcorder

Great item for its value. Very clear hd performance!'
definitely recommanded, however the only downside is when you recorded
a video, the playback volume is quite small.
However, this can be fixed if you view it on a TV or your computer.
This light weight cam worked well for me as I bring it where ever I
go. read more..

Sony DCR-SR45 30GB Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom

bought this cam for the arrival of our little boy. everything seems pretty good, the still camera is not very good - quality wise, but it's not a still cam, it's a video cam. we've had it just over a month and all seems well so far. read more..

Panasonic Pro AG-DVX100B 3-CCD MiniDV Proline Camcorder w/ 10x Optical Zoom

I'm not going to rant on & on about all the features & how they compare to ALL the other models, you will go NUTS trying to keep each models pros & cons straight in your head & get dizzy after a while!! LOL I know I did!
After TOO much research, I broke down & finally bought this camera & let me tell you, we have been nothing but pleased in that decision! One of the key deciding factor read more..

Isonic Snapbox HD665 Multifunctional High Definition Camcorder (Black)

I have owned the iSonic HD665 Snapbox for about four days. I am writing this to make some information available for others considering a purchase.

The native resolution of the image sensor is 5 mega pixels. The video codec is a 'MPEG-4 AVC (H .264)'.

The microphone is mounted on top of the device so it will pick up the camera operator's voice way louder than that of someo read more..

Aiptek A-HD+ 1080P High Definition Camcorder (Silver)

I've put this thing through it's paces since I got it a month ago and it's been great. Feels cheaply made but I've beat it around a bit and had no problems at all. Picture quality is fantastic, very easy to use and easy to handle. I'd buy it again. read more..

Aiptek GO-HD High Definition 720p Camcorder with 3x Optical Zoom

i have had this camera for about 3 weeks now and just love the convenience of carrying one device for both video and still pictures. its also lighter and smaller than my other devices. its very easy to use. picture quality is good in daylight or well lit area. it gets grainy in the dark and does not look great especially when viewed on an HD TV. audio is ok, zoom is basic. i usually just walk clos read more..

Canon HG10 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder with Optical Image Stabilizer

In the past I have been quite loyal to Sony products. I bought this after reading great reviews about how this is superior to Sony. Additionally, I gave in to the lower price. However, although I think this camcorder is worth the price I paid, I do not agree with others that it is the greatest camcorder ever. The auto mode over corrects in back lighting situations and the color cannot compete with read more..

Samsung SC-DX103 DVD Camcorder

Maybe I'm asking too much for a $250 product, but I feel a little misled. In addition to the MiniDVD record capability it has a flash memory where you can take video and pictures too. The product came out this year, so I thought I could use a couple larger flash memory cards and mainly record video that route. Once I get this, I learn it only takes 2GB cards (no SDHC). So I buy 4 2GB cards and read more..

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom (Silver

I bought this camera for my father in law who was taking a 65 day cruise and always had an interest in video but would never buy it for himself. I was able to help him get started over the phone since he lives
6000 miles away. At 79 years old I wasn't sure if he would be able to work it. He did it and loves everything about it-as excited as a boy with a new toy. I will get to see the re read more..

Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Optical Zoom (Wine Red)

I picked this camcorder mainly because 1. I have a Canon camera (S2 IS) that takes great videos, 2. I want a compact camcorder with good battery life. So far it meets my expectations. The SD cards are getting cheaper every year. They will soon replace battery-thirsty and bulky hard-drive camcorders.

Pros:
1. Light-weight, ergonomic to fit small hands.
2. SD card is small, read more..

Samsung SC-DC173U DVD Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom

I was given this camcorder as a Christmas present when I gave birth to twin girls. I recorded on it and found it would not finalize and repeatedly received a disk error message. I tried again and got the same message. Now I have two unviewable disks with precious family memories on them. When I called customer support I got a woman who barely spoke English who went through several steps with me an read more..
