Title: Canon HG10
Pros: Excellent image stabilisation; generally great video quality
Cons: Poor audio control; smallish EVF; some annoying ergonomics; no manual focus dial
Verdict: There's no doubt about it -- the Canon HG10 takes sharp, well-exposed photos and HD videos. Unfortunately, its poor design and audio control make it hard to recommend above its competitors
Summary: The Canon HG10, the hard drive-based, AVCHD-compatible camcorder, takes some chances. For starters, it has one of the most comfortable zoom switches in its class. Plus, upping its low-light performance, both focus and video quality, means it goes beyond o

Title: Canon XL2
Pros: State-of-the-art DV imagery and controls; 24P mode; interchangeable lenses; native 16:9 capture; compatible with most XL1 lenses and accessories.
Cons: Strange ergonomics; stock lens is hard to focus manually and stock viewfinder doesn't help; no flip-out LCD monitor; pricier than the competition.
Summary: Canon returns to the state of the art in DV but doesn't set a new standard.

Title: Canon XH A1
Pros: Excellent video quality; extremely customisable; great lens and optical stabiliser; fast focus
Cons: No 720p recording capability; coarse, low-resolution LCD
Verdict: Canon's XH A1 is an excellent camcorder for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with hard-to-beat prices for what it offers
Summary: Canon's XH A1 uses the same technology as the company's professional-level XL H1, but trades in the interchangeable lens for a price that's far easier to stomach -- making it an appealing model for prosumers
