Aiptek MZ-DV


This digital camcorder features a software video stabilizer, so your footage is level and professional. Whether shooting video or digital stills, autofocus keeps the subject in view, while selectable special effects let you make artistic decisions.

Sony DCR-DVD7


The first thing that comes to mind when seeing Sony's DCR-DVD7E is that it looks rather like a Discman, but this is of course only because it must make room for a DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW to use as recording media. The unit, announced yesterday in Europe, has a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder on the back, and despite perhaps looking a bit unimpressive, the lens does a respectable 10x optical zoom. Minimize

Aiptek IS-DV2


The IS-DV2 camcorder from Aiptek is built on the success of the IS-DV. It pays close attention to detail, and lets you do the same with a maximum resolution of 6 megapixels and a swivel-reversible 1.8-inch color LCD screen. The image stabilizer and red-eye reduction make it ideal for the first-time videographer. Record videos at 30 frames per second in MPEG-4 Super VHS quality (640x480 VGA resolution) with sound. On top of all this, it's an MP3 player, voice recorder, and web cam. Minimize

Panasonic NV-GS250


Record your special moments in professional image quality thanks to the Tir-CCD sensor and Leica Dicomar lens. Equipped with an image stabilizer OIS allowing you to obtain images with a 3.1 megapixel resolution, your photographs can be stored on a SD memory card. The NV-GS250 has a joystick navigation system allowing you to control your camcorder with one hand. Minimize
