Conclusion
|
A year ago, the HF G10 would have been one of the best HD camcorders around. But today, the lack of a 50p mode and poor performance in low light put it behind its rivals Sony and Panasonic, despite Canon's insistence on a 'high-end' price tag ... |
The Sony Handycam PJ260 is a family camcorder with plenty of great features, as much in its optics (zoom, wide angle) as in terms of its design (touchscreen, built-in memory). The integrated projector is a nice touch that's a decent enough fallback solution when there's no TV to hand. All in all, it's a good four-star camcorder. |
