Reviews for this Sony camcorder (8 expert reviews (rating 60 / 100) • 137 user reviews): "Compact; lens focuses relatively fast....Merely OK video quality; worse-than-expected lens flare problems in bright sunlight....Like the CX100, the CX150 and CX110 each fit quite comfortably in a jacket pocket...I think they use the same screen as the CX100, though......"

Reviews for this GoPro camcorder (2 expert reviews (rating 80 / 100) • 282 user reviews): "The GoPro HD Hero2 boasts improved optics, a few new video- and still-photo-shooting modes, and backward compatibility with current HD Hero accessories....As improved as it is, the Hero2's interface can still be a bit confusing for the first-time user....For starters, the Hero2 features a new glass lens that should be sharper and more durable than the old lens...Where the Hero1 featured only one red recording indicator LED, the Hero2 features four (one enlarged..."

Reviews for this Panasonic camcorder (2 expert reviews (rating 60 / 100) • 45 user reviews): "They're compact and have manual controls, a zoom lens, and a video light, which is nice for the price of the Panasonic HDC-SD40, TM40 and TM41 ....When it comes to video quality, you're getting what you pay for....Like their cheap competitors from Sony and Canon, Panasonic's budget-priced HDR-SD40, TM40 and TM41 are only nominally high-definition...The result is generally poor video quality, though how bad it looks depends upon how you view it...The TM40 and..."

Reviews for this Panasonic camcorder (5 user reviews): "I finally narrowed it down to 3 sets: Pioneer 500M, Samsung B860, and the Panny V10...The V10, on the other hand, was not that impressive anymore...Obviously, the first thing that came to mind was that the V10 had not been properly calibrated...Yes, once I made the key adjustments to the V10 the picture quality did improve, but it still didnt have the awe inspiring picture quality that the Sammy had...I have seen many TVs in my life and so far this set is definitely on Pioneers level in terms of overall performance..."

Reviews for this Toshiba camcorder (29 user reviews): "The TLP X200 is an attractive and bright portable projector that suffers from poor contrast...We were pleased to see the X200 producing nice sharp images...However with a 1024x768 (XGA) resolution, it's best viewed in the middle or low end of its 0.76 to 7.6m recommended projection size...We used DisplayMate Multimedia Edition to test projector performance — and from this we found colour reproduction to be good..."
