| 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. | The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video. | Typical for their price class, the no-frills Sony Handycam HDR-CX130, CX160, and XR160 produce generally subpar HD video, but if you're not picky you'll probably be fine. The CX130 is the best buy of the three, as long as you go cheap on the memory card. | The Samsung HMX-W300 rugged minicamcorder is a good traveling companion for capturing Web-friendly movie clips and photos of your next hike or beach trip. |
