Medion Life S47000 pocket camcorder
A pocket camcorder to take on the piste? 9 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Plenty of accessories in the box, price, weather proofing

The Bad
Not the best in terms of video quality

Verdict
Better quality HD or Full HD video is offered by some of the more expensive rivals, but at under £100, the Medion Life S47000 looks like a winner

Price
£99.99
Kodak Zi8 camcorder
HD home movies from your pocket? 3 August 2009 20:23 GMT

The Good
Fixed focus lens, 1080p support, easy to getting recording, HDMI socket

The Bad
Controls fiddly, image stabilisation didn’t seem to work, large, internal mic is awful outside

Verdict
On the whole the pros do outweigh the cons, but you need to be aware of those cons before parting with your cash to avoid being disappointed

Toshiba Camileo H20 camcorder
An HD camcorder worthy of your dough? 10 June 2009 9:40 GMT

The Good
Detail in motion-free Full HD video, outdoor use, versatile SD options for uploading

The Bad
Slow to focus, ergonomics, size/features ratio

Verdict
Although a step up from the tiny S10, which sells for only £30 less, we’re not sure the H20’s extra bulk pays its way

Price
£180
Kodak Zx1 pocket camcorder
Can Kodak win the pocket HD shoot-out? 11 May 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
AA batteries, uses SD card, all cables supplied

The Bad
Camera shake a problem, no card supplied

Verdict
We'd take the Zx1 over its rivals because it gives you so many choices. At £150, it’s pretty good value for money too

Price
£149.99
Apple iPod nano (5th Gen)
So just how good is this video camera? 14 September 2009 15:59 GMT

The Good
Every bit as good as the last plus an FM radio and a bigger screen

The Bad
Camera resolution is dated, performance in low light is poor, it won't take stills and it's all too easy to cover up by accident

Verdict
If you could buy the 4th gen at a discount it would be worth it but it's still a very good MP3 player no matter the imaging

Price
£135 (16GB)
Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 camcorder
A 720p performer? 21 May 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
30x zoom, great LCD screen, easy to use

The Bad
Terrible still images, average video quality

Verdict
The TH1 just doesn’t offer the quality we’d expect from a camera of this type, stills are terrible and video is only ok

Price
£230
Flip Ultra HD camcorder
Flexible pocket HD friend? 14 July 2009 10:13 GMT

The Good
Screen, video quality, battery options

The Bad
Bulky, no cables supplied, prone to wobble

Verdict
Great quality, simple to use and flexible power options make the Flip Ultra HD worthy of consideration

Price

Casio Exilim EX-H10 digital camera
Big zoom yet small camera: the ideal travel companion? 25 September 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Solid feel build and long lens reach coupled with smaller than average dimensions for such a feature set, which includes the latest must-have of HD movie capture not to mention longer than average battery life

The Bad
Average image quality for its class, tricky to get a completely sharp shots when shooting handheld at extremities of the zoom, positioning of the built-in flash means that fingers can sometimes stray in front, zoom disabled in movie mode and no HDMI out

Verdict
The EX-H10 offers fair value for those wanting a bigger than average zoom but a smaller, pocket-sized camera. However, if image quality is the main concern, and we’re being picky, better results are to be had elsewhere

Price
£299
Apple Mac mini 2.53GHz
An ideal starter Mac? 23 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Compact design, near silent operation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and plenty of power

The Bad
No SD card slot, USB slots close

Verdict
So there are few niggles with the Mac mini. It's the usual seamless operation we've come to expect from Apple. You take it out of the box and it just works. With the upgrades coming in at the same prices as the last versions, the new Mac mini looks very tempting indeed

Price
£649
Flip Mino HD camcorder
Can Flip keep pace in the HD stakes? 6 April 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Good quality video, size, price

The Bad
Tiny display, small memory capacity, no HDMI so viewing on your TV is fiddly

Verdict
Overall we can't help but feel that Flip is slowly losing its way in a market it practically invented, which is a great shame

Price
£169.99
HP Mini 311 notebook - First Look
Does it really give you HD on the move? 15 September 2009 9:56 GMT

The Good
Great graphics handling, HDMI, great build quality, conventional trackpad button position

The Bad
Keyboard might not suit some, not the slimmest or lightest at this screen size, glossy screen

Verdict
The HP Mini 311 looks to combine some of the best features of the Mini series with great performance in a package that, whilst not the slimmest, has been considerately designed

Price
£349
Creative Vado HD camcorder
Does HD pack a punch in your pocket? 9 February 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Video quality, HDMI connection, easy to use, on-board software link to YouTube

The Bad
No AV cable supplied, a little pricy

Verdict
The price is a little too high for us, but otherwise, an impressive array of features producing respectable results

Price
£199.99
Toshiba Camileo S10 camcorder
HD Ready, aim, fire! 2 June 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Bright outdoor HD video, small size, expandable storage

The Bad
Focusing, slow and limited zoom, some blur

Verdict
It compares reasonably well to other pocket camcorders on the market, but the S10 remains resolutely at the budget end of camcorders despite its high-definition ambitions

Price
£150
Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 camcorder
A pistol grip for beginners? 6 May 2009 16:26 GMT

The Good
Small, good video quality

The Bad
Design not for everyone, average stills

Verdict
Decent video camera with still image capability though it’s much more accomplished at recording moving images

Price
£220
Pentax X70 digital camera
Does this compact 24x zoom bridge camera get closer to perfection? 16 September 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Big zoom capability from relatively compact dimensions, easy to use intuitive operation for the most part, good results achievable shooting handheld if plenty of light available

The Bad
Plasticy build, resolution drops when choosing faster capture setting, no RAW capture option, disappointing results at ISO 800 and above, zoom disabled when shooting video

Verdict
Like many big zoom cameras that try and do it all, there’s as much here to delight as disappoint. The wider creative possibilities offered by that broader focal range shouldn’t be underestimated, and, once used, going back to that 3x zoom compact will seem tough

Price
£369.99
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 camera
HD video, but at what cost? 4 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Adjustable high (ish) resolution rear LCD, tactile rubber body "shroud", impressively clear Live View finder, sharp, realistically coloured evenly exposed results

The Bad
Hefty price tag, existing APS-C sized sensor DSLR users will have to invest in a whole new system from scratch

Verdict
While it’s difficult to know who the GH1 will presently appeal to given its semi-pro price tag, the hybrid camera performs well and is more than pleasant to use

Price
£1299 (14-140mm Mega OIS zoom)
Kodak Zx1 camcorder - First Look
Can Kodak improve on the Zi6? 22 January 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
HDMI socket, splashproof, small, HD 720p quality video

The Bad
Need to carry around USB cable, smaller screen, no onboard memory

Verdict
Our brief play was promising, however with the market heating up, it's not going to be an easy win for Kodak

A networked player that brings a new dose of fun 16 July 2009 15:23 GMT

The Good
MPEG4 and MKV playback, YouTube, design, price, plays Blu-ray too

The Bad
Networking can be fiddle, potentially prone to crashes

Verdict
The compelling feature set sort of sweeps any shortcomings under the carpet. The LG BD370 is a very capable Blu-ray player, worthy of consideration for your home entertainment

Price

Canon HV20 camcorder
Your TV's HD so why not your camcorder? Canon hopes this model will fix that 8 May 2007 13:00 GMT

The Good
Video quality, options, 10x optical zoom

The Bad
Size, limited cables in the box

When it comes to video performance the Canon HV20 is very impressive. As we start to live in a HD world this is on the very cutting edge

Price

Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 camcorder
Will this help you crack Hollywood? 28 January 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Simple, easy to use, Full HD looks crisp and impressive

The Bad
Basic in its feature set, you'll need a powerful computer to edit the footage, you'll need a big SD card

Verdict
If the price was slightly lower, which it no doubt will be online, this is one still worth a closer look

Price
£549
Pinnacle LINX USB Plus
9 December 2003 15:12 GMT

The Good
S-Video, composite and stereo audio

The Bad
none

Verdict
A great option to turn your PC into an editing suite without breaking the bank.

Elgato Turbo.264 HD video encoder
Will this save you time encoding clips? 7 April 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Simple and easy to use, Works with iMovie and EyeTV, YouTube format support

The Bad
Dongle is wide so you'll need to use the extending cable in the box, doesn't save you masses of time

Verdict
Yes you can already do this via iMovie or QuickTime already, but it's a slow process and this should make that process a little bit quicker

Price
£135

Will Full HD put you in the picture? 14 May 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good

Will this help you conquer Hollywood? 29 October 2008 12:00 GMT

The Good
Full HD, capture still images at the same time, quick to focus on subjects

The Bad
Needs to be connected to a power source to transfer footage to PC, mic isn't that good

Verdict
The Canon HG21 is a good option if you are looking to shoot Full HD, however at almost £1000 it's not for the occasional user

Price
£1000
