  Review summary: Good quality optics and lots of storage, but not the most portable of camcorders
  
  Verdict: Those same users will also be pleased to find both an external microphone and headphone socket, allowing for more advanced sound recording. However, half the camcorders on test here have a microphone socket, so it doesn�€™t give it much of an a

  Review summary: Canon's robust HG10 offers support for the teeny microSD card - ironic, given the camcorder's build is one of the chunkiest on test - and includes a built-in 40GB hard drive that allows for up to 15 hours of full HD 1080i video (AVCHD compression format).

  Review : Canon HG10 HDD Camcorder
  By paul_smart
  
  Review summary: This camcorder is one of the latest versions that record to an internal hard drive, thus increasing the capacity vastly over other storage methods. It can of course also record still images onto an SD card.
  
  Verdict: The optical zoom is 10x and should you believe in it up to 200x digital zoom. In still image mode you can choose from 2048x1536, 1920x1080, 1440x1080, 848x480 and 640x480
