JVC Everio GZ-HD3

The good: Good-looking design; high-quality audio; low noise, low-light video.

The bad: Low-resolution video; needs built-in ND filter; no viewfinder.

The bottom line: As a scaled-down version of JVC's GZ-HD7, the GZ-HD3 ditches some of the fancier features, but its price is still higher than we'd like for this camcorder.
