Convenient Camcorders

Video cameras that record directly onto DVDs or hard drives make shooting and viewing your footage easy. But our lab tests found some clear differences between the two formats.

Individual Product Reviews

Following are lists of links to individual reviews of the digital camcorders we tested for this article. The first list is of the MiniDVD and HDD models that we assessed in compiling our ranked chart, "Top 10 DVD and HDD Camcorders." The second list presents links to reviews of five MiniDV camcorders, which we tested at the same time as the Mini DVD and HDD models, but which we chose not to include in the ranked chart because MiniDV models are difficult to compare head-to-head with these other types. And finally we offer a link to a review of the SD Card-based Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65, which records to its card in MPEG-4 format.
