| Bottom line | The Samsung HMX-W200 might be a little less impressive than its specs, but it's still a very good rugged minicamcorder for the money. | As rugged minicamcorders go, the Panasonic HM-TA20 is very good
and definitely deserves consideration. | The rugged Kodak PlaySport Zx5 is a very good minicamcorder, but falls just shy of improving on last year's model, despite being more durable. |
