Top 3 Lab Tested Camcorders
  • # 1 Panasonic HDC-TM700 Panasonic HDC-TM700 £764.95

    As the update to Panasonic's 300-series, the expectations for the Panasonic HDC-TM700 are high..

  • # 2 JVC Everio GZ-HM1 JVC Everio GZ-HM1

    Other than a new silver paint job, JVC's newest flagship model, the Everio GZ-HM1 (£1,093), looks exactly like its predecessor, the GZ-HM400. JVC's biggest alteration comes in the form of a back-illuminated CMOS sensor that did wonders in improving the low light performance of this new model.

  • # 3 Canon Legria HF S21 Canon Legria HF S21 £966.50

    Canon's new flagship model, the HF S21, has a lot of exciting new features and controls. Its 64GB of internal flash memory, two SD/SDHC memory card slots, and the touchscreen LCD make the HF S21 one of the most appealing camcorders of 2010.
