HD Camcorders: The Group Test

HD Camcorders: The Group Test

T3

  • Full Review

    With point-and-shoot, 1080p cams now on sale for a few hundred quid and very proficient video cams on phones and even tablets, the traditional camcorder market is suffering. If you’re going for a larger, more feature-laden video camera these days, you should demand near professional grade features and results. These babies deliver.

    Best: 3D
    JVC Everio GZ-HM960
    £799
    Love: Smooth HD video. Added 3D capability
    Hate: Overly expensive if you’re not using 3D
