The Bottom Line: Sanyo's dual-camera Xacti VPC-CG10 has the design and features to easily shoot both HD-quality movies and 10-megapixel photos, but slow performance and mediocre photos keep it from being a solid do-it-all device.
Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 5 x, Flash card, 6 oz
The Bottom Line: An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF S11 has the advantage of an excellent image stabilizer but it disappointingly lacks an eye-level viewfinder.
Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 10 x, Flash card, 15.9 oz
The Bottom Line: If internal flash memory, zoom range, and a touch-screen LCD are on your list of needs before video quality, check out the Sony Handycam DCR-SX41.
Specs: Camcorder, Advanced HAD CCD, 60 x, Flash card, 8.8 oz
The Bottom Line: The Samsung SMX-F34 is a serviceable inexpensive standard-definition camcorder, but the money goes more to storage and the megazoom lens than to video quality.
Specs: Camcorder, CCD, 34 x, Flash card, 9.5 oz
