As the year comes to a close, CamcorderInfo takes a look back and selects their choices for the best digital camcorders of 2006. The choices are from a number of different categories from “Best Ease of Use” to “Best Camcorder for over $4,000.” What camcorder ended up taking home the gold? The much-praised Canon Elura 100 (only problem is its enclosed battery design). Congrats to Canon for making quality products consumers can rely on. Read on for the winners.
