'Smarter-than-average autofocus .'

'best video quality'

'Given the low, low prices, the small, low-resolution LCD screen is understandable. '

'The Panasonic HDC-HS60 is surprisingly small for a 120GB camcorder.'

'You press and hold the center button to select the dial's operation: manual focus, exposure compensation, aperture or shutter, mic level and automatic gain control limit--which caps the signal boosting in low light to minimize visual noise. '

'The new touchscreen system is intuitive and good for beginners, but we did find it a bit frustrating for navigating the camcorder's long menu system.'

'the display is clear and viewable even in quite bright conditions.'

'The quality is quite good, particularly indoors, there was little jarring noise.'

'The camera is so light it almost feels like there is nothing there.'

'The HF M31 has 32MB of flash memory built in, which is enough for three hours of footage at the top quality mode. '

'It is also capable of taking excellent looking video — especially in bright lighting. '

'solid video performance'

'Compact size.'

'The JVC GZ-HM550 is sharply styled, with a silver-accented black body.'

'The HM550 has other great new features being showcased by JVC's newly announced flagship camcorder, the GZ-HM1.'

'smooth, fluid image'

'Picture quality and sound are impressively clear, with no background hiss or operational buzz, while colours have just the right amount of saturation to ensure that skin tones look healthy without appearing unnaturally so.'
