Genius G-Shot HD520 video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

It's hard to be too critical of a camcorder shooting 720p HD for under £100. The Genius G-Shot HD520 captures good enough footage in adequate lighting to be worth considering as a cheap and cheerful shooter for family occasions. However, if you have any more serious intentions with your video, the confused control system and jerky digital zoom mean saving up for a more expensive alternative would be a better choice.
