Camcorders Review
On first impressions, the camcorder looks no different to a tape-based model
The uncluttered rear will see you up and shooting in no time
The widescreen LCD boasts a secondary record button and menu access controls
Although it's relatively compact, the SR8 certainly couldn't be called 'small'
