Reviewers are floored by the video quality of expensive high-definition camcorders, and they say even most inexpensive, pocket-sized HD models shoot pretty good video. Still, for almost the same price as a no-frills HD pocket cam, you can get a standard-definition camcorder with a lot more features. Reviewers say that video quality of some of the better standard-definition camcorders is okay, and some very good performers are relative bargains.
