“Today’s full-sized camcorders are smaller and more lightweight than previous models,” says Consumer Reports. “They fit easily in your hand and weigh as little as a half a pound, yet still include at least a 10x optical zoom lens and other powerful features. … If you want a camcorder that’s more compact than a full-sized model, you should consider an action cam, like one of GoPro’s Hero line of camcorders.”
Here is the Consumer Reports’ selection of recommended camcorders. The maximum overall score is 100, and “Best Buy” models offer more value.
