| Bottom line | The Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 is an excellent high-definition camcorder from a video perspective, but it's less satisfying if you're an audio control freak. | While it's got a great shooter feature set and good video quality, the Canon Vixia HF G10 still feels a bit expensive for what it offers. | With its AG-HVX200, Panasonic raises the bar again, bringing us professional HD versatility and quality at a lower price than ever. | Canon's XH A1 and XH G1 are excellent camcorders for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with hard-to-beat prices for what they offer. | 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. |
