Digital video round up
Product reviews > Hardware > Digital video

Photographs are wonderful for saving snapshots of good times. With digital photos we've been able to add an extra step of creativity into the process - choosing, cropping, adjusting and editing images to make our photography look even better. Digital camcorders perform the same function for the moving image. While video can capture movement and speech, providing far superior memories than a simple snap, standard camcorders would leave us with reams of boring footage in which nothing happens, with no convenient way of chopping it out. With a digital camcorder you can easily connect it to your PC via a FireWire card and edit your video, pulling out the important bits and eliminating the tiresome.

Sound like your kind of bag? All you need is a digital camcorder, a FireWire card installed in your computer and some software. This is the section where you'll find reviews of all these things.
