JVC HD Everio GZ-HM400 (Creative, Under $1,000) If you aspire for your homemade movies to be more 'American Beauty' than America's Funniest, you'll need to forgo the raft of pocket-sized but underpowered HD camcorders and opt for a higher-end model. Which is where's JVC's newest Everio, the GZ-HM400 HD camcorder steps in. Able to record both crisp 1080 at 60fps HD video, as well 600fps ...

A trivia point for you: What was the last big studio movie to be released on VHS tape? The answer is 'A History of Violence,' released in 2006. People in the consumer electronics industry have been announcing the end of the VHS era for years now – but this time they really, really mean it.

We got a quick look at JVC's new AVCHD camcorders earlier this week, the GD-HD40, GZ-HD30 and GZ-HD10.
