Over the past few years we’ve looked almost all of the HD camcorders in Sanyo’s XACTI range. In fact we quite like the Xacti camcorders as they record decent quality HD footage in MP4 format on SD memory cards which makes it easy to transfer to the PC or Mac for editing. Most of the [...]

Ever since the Sony released their HDR-FX1000 HD Handycam I’ve wanted to get my hands on one to review. As you are no doubt aware, I record a LOT of video for the website and although I am quite pleased with the results from the Sanyo HD1000 that I use at the moment I wanted [...]

As you may know, last year we conducted a small group test of digital camcorders as we were looking for for something new to record our unboxing videos on. When we conducted our group test we set a budget of £200 – 250 and at the time the only HD camcorders to fall in to [...]

We’ve looked at several Lumix models in the past but this FX500 is one of the higher models from Panasonic. Features include 10MP sensor, 25mm wide angle lens, 5x optical zoom, face chaser, smile sensor, steady shot – the list goes on! There’s even a 3″ Touch Screen on the back to simplify menu navigation [...]

We’ve unboxed several other Sanyo Xacti camcorders and this is the latest HD2000.  Looking the same externally as its predecessors, the HD1000 and HD1010, the new HD2000 offers some marked improvements. The CMOS sensor has been upped to a 8.1 megapixel chip and the zoom has increased from 10x to 16x optical. The biggest difference [...]

This Canon FS100 was the 4th camera that we looked at in our camcorder group test. Camcorder group test (Part 5) Canon FS100 Review – Matt

The Sanyo Xacti HD700 is the 4th camcorder from our group test and the one we liked best! The HD700, as its name suggests, records video in HD (720P) on a SDHC memory card. One of the nice things about the Xacti range is that you can capture still photos even while recording video footage [...]

The Sony HDR-SR11E is actually one of the cameras that we now use for our unboxing videos. This model sits at the high end of the Handycam range and records in glorious HD Video footage can be recorded on either a MSPro Duo card or the built in 60GB hard drive. In the highest definition, [...]

Toshiba Camileo H10 was the second camcorder in our group-test. The H10 is Toshiba’s budget entry into the high definition camcorder market. The most remarkable thing about this camcorder is the fact that it’s a high definition camera (HD) for about £180. Not long ago this would have been much more expensive and out of [...]

Last year I started looking for a new and inexpensive digital camcorder to replace the DVD camcorder that I’d been using to record our unboxing videos. I was surprised that there was a lack of direct comparisons between many of the leading models so I decided I would carry out my own group test on [...]

I’d been looking for a small and inexpensive HD camcorder for a while and when the Aiptek AHD Z500 plus HD came along it seemed too good to be true, offering 1080p and 720p recording on an SD card that could then easily be used in a PC card reader seemed ideal. However, the Z500 [...]

This Limix DMC-TZ4, is one of a new breed of digital compact cameras hitting the market with a massive 10x optical zoom (28 – 280mm). There is something of a compromise associated with the excepional zoom though, the TZ4 isn’t the most compact of compact cameras and is also a little heavy. I’d say it’s [...]

When we got our hands on the Sony HDR-TG3E handycam it was quite literally the first and only unit here in the UK at the time so we had a great exclusive look at Sony’s new HD Camcorder. The TG3E is impressively small and light and records on the MS ProDuo memory cards, you even [...]

We’ve looked at a few Lumix cameras in the past and this LS80 was an excellent addition to the range, especially considering it could be found for under £100! Panasonic introduces a new Lumix digital camera, the DMC-LS80, that combines easy-to-use advanced functions and AA-battery operation convenience. A newly developed Lumix DC VARIO lens system [...]

This is our Panasonic HDC-SD5 HD Camcorder unboxing video. Haven’t got anything more to say really! – Matt

The DMC-L10 features an advanced 2.5-inch free angle LCD for full time live view that offers 270 degree rotation and a versatile shooting style. A 10.1-megapixel Live MOS Sensor provides the beautiful images with delicate gradation and wide dynamic range. The superb image processor, Venus Engine III, boasts a high quality image rendering and high [...]

I’ve spoken about digital photo frames a number of times in the past and even reviewed a couple but these have mostly been of the 7″ variety. Polaroid recently sent me a 10″ photo frame to take a look at so as always I thought I would start off with an unboxing video. -Matt

Panasonic have a range of compact cameras that bare the Lumix name. This FX-12 was the first Lumix that I had the pleasure of using. As you’ll see, we unboxed and reviewed several other Lumix models. – Matt
