Canon FS200 First Impressions Review
The Canon FS200 is a minor upgrade to last year's FS100. Yet the extreme portability, colorful options, and mic and headphone jacks will likely win it some fans.

Samsung HMX-R10 First Impressions Review
The Samsung HMX-R10 is creating quite a stir among gadget lovers for its unique sloping lens and curvilinear design.
