Good reasonably priced camcorder?
Hi
I've decided that my VHS 8mm camcorder is just a bit out dated LOL. The problem is although i dont mind the size of the unit too much, it's all the chargers, cassettes, batteries etc etc i've got to lug round with me all the time.
I've seen a few peeps with some really small and compact camcorders which look ideal so has anyone got any recommendations? No, i dont want an all singing, dancing one and i have a digital camera for normal pictures so image capture features and things like that, i'm not too bothered about.
I really just want a small, good, reasonably priced point and shoot camcorder. Any advice welcome and if you could tell me what you paid for it and from where, that would be
Many thanks
Pete

Hiya,
First, you might want to look at www.cameras2u.com. Great site, first class service and VERY keen prices. Don't buy anything from the shops: you'll generally pay about 20% less if you use the internet or mail-order from specialists.
I got a Panasonic MVGS50 Fantastic bit of kit (fits right in the palm of your hand), though pretty much all of panasonics camera range is great; just depends on the spec you want. I paid about £480 for mine, but probably considerably less now!
The most recent variant is here:

Best.

Good site, cheers
I know what you are saying about Panasonic, the one i have now is one and the quality is still superb although the camcorder is well outdated
Although the one you have is a bit more than i would have wished to of paid why is the one you have so much more expensive than say this one. What sort of features shouldn't i scrimp on. I remember the big issue years ago was LUX levels but what should i look for in a "basic" camcorder

www.rgbdirect.co.uk are selling the mighty fine Sony DCRHC40 for £422. I bought one a couple of months back and am very impressed
