Sony Handycam DCR-HC52
Rating:

Reviewers say Sony Handycam DCR–HC52 offers all the basic features that most people will ever need. This best digital camcorder is capable of 40x optical zoom to record the subject close up from far away with clear, crisp images. The size is quite small: 8 x 10 x 6 inches and weighing just 3 pounds. Since it has a handy cam button, even the amateur can use this camcorder and simplify the recording options. The images can quickly be transfered using the high speed, bi–directional digital video/audio connection to compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.


Canon ZR800
Rating:

The Cannon ZR800 is therefore one of the best digital camcorders on the market according to the reviews. It offers a solid video quality at a low cost. This camcorder has a microphone jack. The 35x optical zoom may be a little bit lower than Sony DCR – HC52 which has a 40x optical zoom. This version can record high quality shots through a .35 – inch widescreen so the users can see exactly what the camcorder is recording. The extra buttons on this digital camcorder have been replaced with a joystick which makes it much easier to use.

Panasonic Palmcorder HDC-DX1

The new Panasonic Palmcorder HDC-DX1 mini digital camcorder is packed with features and has a small sleek design. It records high–quality video images and sounds. It features Panasonic O.I.S., Mega O.I.S., and HDC- DX1 for clear, beautiful shooting, whether you are taking motion or still pictures as it minimizes the hand- shake during recording and activates the corrective power. The only disadvantage of this digital camcorder is its price.
