The camera is roughly the same size as the Olympus E-P1, and the two cameras perform very similarly--both topping out with a 1280 x 720 maximum video resolution.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-GF1-DSLR-Camera-Review-37251.htmhttp://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-HDR-CX500V-Camcorder-Review-Photo-Gallery.htmThe HDR-CX500V (MSRP $1099) from Sony is a high-end HD camcorder that records to 32GB of internal memory or Memory Stick cards. The camcorder did quite well in our testing, and its compact design is certainly striking, but Sony missed the target with its re-designed control wheel and updated menu system--not to mention leaving out several features that are commonly found on high-end models.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-Handycam-HDR-CX500V-Camcorder-Review-37247.htmAs far as mid-range HD camcorders go, the JVC GZ-HM200 ($579 MSRP) is a solid product. The sister-model to the GZ-HD300, the HM200 includes dual SD/SDHC memory card slots and offers a fairly straightforward shooting experience. The camcorder has some handling issues--marred by cheap construction and a flimsy hand strap--but, overall, it\'s a good mid-range model from JVC.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/JVC-Everio-GZ-HM200-Camcorder-Review-37237.htmhttp://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/JVC-Everio-GZ-HM200-Camcorder-Review-Photo-Gallery.htmhttp://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-PMW-350-and-PMW-EXR1-News-Photo-Gallery.htmOctober 20, 2009 andndash; Sony announced today the release of two new models to their XDCAM EX line of professional camcorders--the PMW-350 and the PMW-EX1R. The PMW-350 is an entirely new camcorder from Sony and it is the company\'s first memory-based camcorder to include a 2/3-inch CMOS chip. The PMW-EX1R, on the other hand, is an upgrade to the company\'s previous XDCAM model, the PMW-EX1.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-Announces-Two-New-Pro-Camcorders-the-PMW-EX1R-and-PMW-350-37224.htmOctober 14, 2009 andndash; A new version of the widely popular Flip MinoHD camcorder was announced today. The new camcorder features double the storage capacity of the previous Flip MinoHD (8GB  vs. 4GB), and it comes with a larger, 2-inch LCD--the same size screen found on the Flip Ultra and UltraHD models. This new, larger capacity MinoHD is available now and retails for $229.99.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Pure-Digital-Releases-New-Flip-MinoHD--37209.htmToday, Pure Digital announced the second-generation Flip MinoHD for release in the United States. Compared to the previous MinoHD, the new mini-camcorder has just a few notable changes, including a larger storage capacity (increased from 4GB to 8GB), a 2-inch LCD, better video software, and an HDMI output. Pure Digital will continue to offer the customisable surface design, as it does with all Mino camcorders. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Pure-Digital-Releases-New-Flip-MinoHD--37209.htmOctober 13, 2009 andndash; Sanyo announced that it will release the VPC-HD2000A and VPC-FH1A in North America. These two high definition camcorders have been available since early this year, but have yet to see a wide release on this side of the globe. The HD2000A and FH1A will have the same exact specs as their previously released cousins, but with one extra feature: compatibility with iFrame, a "next-generation" video format developed by Apple to make video files smaller and easier to edit.http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sanyo-Announces-iFrame-Compatible-Camcorders--The-VPC-HD2000A-and-VPC-FH1A-37213.htm
