Hand held gadgets are seemingly becoming smaller and smaller everyday. Smartphones, digital cameras and camcorders have all had the ‘mini-makeover’; in turn dramatically improving performance, look and function.
Some might say, however, that technology is evolving far too quickly for us mere mortals to keep up with; others are just happy that they have the necessary small hands and acute eye site to operate these cutting-edge devises. Either way, the choice will always be with the consumer, so here are the top 10 tiny camcorders currently on the market…
1) Samsung HMX-U10 High Definition Camcorder
The Samsung HMX-U10 Ultra Compact Camcorder provides you with full 1920 x 1080 high definition recording and user-friendly operation. Along with these key features, this little chap has one-touch upload to YouTube and built-in Intelli-Studio software for in-camera editing. Prices start at around £55.00
2) Toshiba Camileo S20 High Definition Flash Media Camcorder
The Toshiba Camileo is about the size of a Smartphone (2/3-inch thin and 3.5 oz) and is the perfect pocket-sized-piece-of-kit to preserve memories on the move. Phew, easy for us to say… Prices start at around £120.00
Are you looking for a way to record your favorite memories but don’t want to carry heavy equipment? At 2/3-inch thin and 3.5 oz, this tiny… Read More
3) Sanyo VPC-CS1 High Definition Camcorder
This clever dual camera has a pistol-grip style pocket complete with 1080i high def recording capabilities and 8MP photos interpolated. Oh, and it’s also 3MP effective. Prices start at around £220.00
4) Kodak Zi8 (0.29 GB) Hard Drive Camcorder
With a 5-megapixel still capture, up to 1080p HD resolution and removable, chargeable battery, this little fella is one of the most cost-effective mini’s on the market. Prices start at around £99.00
5) Sony DCR-PC55
Although it’s stylish, small and light enough to fit in your trouser pocket, the Sony DCR-PC55 is by no means the cheapest. With a 10x optical zoom and good selection of automatic and manual shooting modes, it does happily compete with its larger counterparts. Prices start at around £470.00
6) Samsung Minikit VP-X110L
The Samsung Minikit is rather poplar with snowboarders and extreme sports fans alike, as it has a detachable lens you can strap to your head; ideal for recording wipe-outs and sky dives! Again not cheap, but great fun. Prices start at around £430.00
7) Sanyo VPC-CG10BK Dual Camera Xacti CG10 HD 10 Megapixels Camera Camcorder
Ok, so it’s a bit of a mouthful to say, however with progressive HD 1280 video, it’s great for taking and uploading quality videos to YouTube. A treat for both the amateur and professional. Prices start at around £99.00
8) Canon ZR950 Mini DV Camcorder
The Canon ZR950 is a member of the ZR series of Canon camcorders built for high performance and ultimate usability. These easy-to-use… Read More
The Canon ZR950 was built primarily for high performance and unsurpassed usability. It features ‘Genuine Canon Optics’ within an ultra-compact and stylish design that will deliver the high level goods. Prices start at around £400.00
9) JVC Everio GZ-MG20
The more relaxed users will find the MG20′s nine-hour footage limit more than enough; however ardent videographers may be better off going for a removable hard-disk camera instead. Prices start at around £400.00
10) JVC Everio GZ-MC500
If you have a more accommodating budget, then the JVC Everio GZ-MC500 could be for you. Due to its 3CCD system, the picture recorded to the internal Microdrive is better than anything a single-CCD system is capable of. Oh, and it’s light too (400g)! Prices start at around £800.00
