Sony Handycam HDR-HC3

Though significantly cheaper than Sony's previous consumer HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 still offers superb HD video quality.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

Though their geotagging capabilities are mostly novelty and their interfaces could use a complete overhaul, the top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature sets of the Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V and HDR-XR520V make them worthy camcorder options. Both are overpriced, but since 14 hours of recording time is plenty--especially if supplemented with flash media--the HDR-XR500V is the better deal of the two.

Sony Handycam DCR-DVD305 Review

The good: Generally fast autofocus and autoexposure; can finalize discs while on battery power.

The bad: Middling video quality; no windscreen filter for microphone; small LCD with impractical touch screen-based menu system.

The bottom line: There are better choices than the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD305, a so-so DVD camcorder.
