Best Consumer Video Products of 2006
This year consumer video products got smaller, lighter, faster, sexier and even more affordable. While many are incredible tools, the editors of VideoMaker had to narrow the field for their “Best Products” award.
These proved to be the best video cams available in 2006:
Best Hard Drive Camcorder – JVC Everio GZ-MG505
For the shooter out there who is tired of recording media and is confident on data back-up practices the JVC Everio GZ-MG505 is a robust solution. While it’s not a high definition format, it’s ready to display the proper aspect ratio on HD displays. Throw in a mic input, accessory shoe, 30GB storage capability and an easy to control interface, and you’ve got one heck of a “forward-thinking” standard definition camcorder.
Best Prosumer Camcorder – Sony HDR-FX7
The HDR-FX7 marks a simple, powerful camcorder that can please the newcomer as well as the ambitions of a professional shooter with its manual controls. We love the 3 quarter-inch ClearVID CMOS sensors, HDMI interface, light-weight, yet remarkably well-balanced feel of this camcorder.
Breakthrough Camcorder of the Year – Panasonic AG-HVX200
The Panasonic AG-HVX200 made a lot of heads turn this year with its multitude of high definition formats and P2, solid-state recording media. Like its SD cousin, the AG-DVX100, it has found its way into many production houses, big and small. We are excited to see Panasonic challenging the design and workflow of digital video.
