Best Camcorders - 1 to * CCD Quantity, H.264 Recording Format, 0 to 30 x Digital Zoom, 2 to 3 in. LCD Panel Size

'Attractive.'

'photos were sharp and accurate, and the Bloggie is definitely a serviceable pocket camera.'

'Still, for just £178, it remains a pretty good deal.'

'At 4.4 oz and measuring in at 2 x 4.2 x .59-inches, the Bloggie Touch is remarkably thin. '

'Alternatively with its user friendliness and general approachability it might make an ideal Christmas gift for a “tweenager”.'

'Best Budget Camcorder.'

'And the Picsio FM2 isn’t fussy: it’s Mac and PC compatible. '

'easy-to-use and intuitive interface'

'Good quality zoom'

'The Samsung HMX-U20 isn't perfect, but it punches hard in one of the areas that matters: the video quality is above par for this type of device, with both autofocus and optical zoom a step above the normal fixed focus options. '

'Quality is great, at least outdoors in good light.'

'built-in USB arm'

'The 3-inch touchscreen is large enough, both to navigate around using the icons and also for video playback or viewing photos, although it can be quite hard to see if you're out in bright daylight.'

'touch panel operation, improved low-light performance, and new built-in software for easy editing and sharing. '

'Usability is fair, with the large touchscreen offering easy access to the relatively sparse functionality.'

'slim, lightweight design'

'5-megapixel stills'

'best pocket camcorder'

'versatile audio options'

'Kodak's new Zi8 bucks the leader by addressing many of its predecessor's shortcomings, while systematically outdoing the competition on just about every feature.'

'smooth performance'

'The CS1 is small enough to fit in a pocket, but has Full HD capability and a 10x optical zoom lens—two specs that aren't found on any of the Flip camcorders.'
