If you're set on this series, though, the no-memory-included Samsung HMX-H100 is probably the best deal of the bunch.

Digital Camcorders Tue, 23 Mar 2010 10:49:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_HDC_TM60K/4505-6500_7-33962080.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders Panasonic's quartet of entry-level HD camcorders--the HDC-HS60, TM60, TM55, and SD60--deliver a nice manual feature set and good performance, as well as solid video quality for their class. As long as you don't pay list price, the SD60 is a great value, and if possible, avoid paying the unnecessary price premium for the hard drive in the HS60.

Digital Camcorders Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:19:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_Vixia_HF_R11/4505-6500_7-33949019.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders If you're looking to shoot great HD video on the cheap, keep looking; the Canon Vixia HF R series delivers decent video at best, even for its modest price. But for a low-priced model with mic and headphone jacks, the HF R100 is a pretty good deal.

The HF200, which lacks internal memory, is probably a better buy than the HF20, though the HF20's all-black body is a bit classier-looking. Digital Camcorders Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:02:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_SDR_H85_blue/4505-6500_7-33976234.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders The Panasonic SDR-H85 standard-definition camcorder is worth considering for its manual controls and powerful zoom lens in a very compact body--not video quality.

The third incarnation of the AG-DVX100 offers unrivalled bang for the buck in a prosumer standard-definition MiniDV camera.

Unless you absolutely need to store a lot of video on the camcorder--which I don't suggest--or have large hands and therefore could benefit from the extra grip the hard drive provides, the cheaper and nearly identical flash-based CX550V is a better deal. Digital Camcorders Wed, 26 May 2010 10:42:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_Vixia_HF_S100/4505-6500_7-33483228.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, you may nevertheless pass on the Canon Vixia HF S100 because it lacks an eye-level viewfinder. It's probably a better buy than the identical--but more expensive, because it has 32GB built-in memory--Vixia HF S10.

However, its design definitely isn't for everyone. Digital Camcorders Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:54:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_Handycam_DCR_SR88/4505-6500_7-33971889.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders Sony's Handycam DCR-SR68 (and larger-capacity SR88) offers up ample storage and a megazoom lens at a reasonable price; one look at the standard-definition video, though, and you might regret not spending a bit more for an HD model. Digital Camcorders Fri, 07 May 2010 09:49:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_HDR_FX1/4505-6500_7-31085889.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MP_Digital+Camcorders Though it lacks some audio flexibility and isn't recommended for 24fps shooting, the HDR-FX1 provides advanced consumers with professional-level video controls and entry-level pros with an affordable starting camcorder.
