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.htm
