Panasonic HDC-SD9
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.2 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 9 reviews
Panasonic HDC-SD9 Reviewed on 03/17/2008

The Bottom Line: Despite its trio of CCDs, the video quality and performance of the Panasonic HDC-SD9 are a bit too inconsistent.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 10 x, Flash card

Panasonic AG-HSC1U
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.4 (3.5 stars)
Panasonic AG-HSC1U Reviewed on 02/19/2008

The Bottom Line: Though it delivers good video with excellent color, the Panasonic AG-HSC1U falls short of its "professional" aspirations in most other ways.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 12 x, Flash card, 15.2 oz

JVC Everio GZ-HD3
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.1 (3.0 stars)
  • User rating: 2h stars out of 7 reviews
JVC Everio GZ-HD3 Reviewed on 10/15/2007

The Bottom Line: As a scaled-down version of JVC's GZ-HD7, the GZ-HD3 ditches some of the fancier features, but its price is still higher than we'd like for this camcorder.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 10 x, Hard disk drive, 1.3 lbs

Panasonic HDC-SD1
  • Editors' rating: 3h stars
      Overall score: 7.3 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 8 reviews
Panasonic HDC-SD1 Reviewed on 07/26/2007

The Bottom Line: A solid SD-based camcorder, the Panasonic HDC-SD1 nevertheless suffers from a few performance issues and an annoying design.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 12 x, Flash card, 1.5 megapixels, 15.2 oz

JVC Everio GZ-HD7
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.3 (3.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3 stars out of 13 reviews
JVC Everio GZ-HD7 Reviewed on 06/01/2007

The Bottom Line: If this camcorder cost $500, we'd give it a much higher rating. But for its quadruple-digit price, we expect far better performance and video quality from the JVC Everio GZ-HD7.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 10 x, Hard disk drive, 1.5 lbs

Canon XH A1 Editors' choice Reviewed on 05/23/2007

  • User rating: 3h stars out of 20 reviews
Panasonic PV-GS320 Reviewed on 04/16/2007

The Bottom Line: Delivering high-quality MiniDV footage and decent still images, the Panasonic PV-GS320 should appeal to advanced amateurs searching for a tape-based camcorder.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 10 x, Mini DV, 0.54 megapixels, 15.9 oz

Panasonic SDR-S150
  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.6 (3.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 7 reviews
Panasonic SDR-S150 Reviewed on 02/15/2007

The Bottom Line: While compact and convenient, Panasonic's SD-based SDR-S150 camcorder doesn't make the quality cut.

Specs: Camcorder, 3CCD, 10 x, Flash card, 8.8 oz
