sorry, im very slow when it comes to technology - what is the difference?

Depends what you what to do with the footage.
If you were thinking of editing on a PC you will be able to download to PC but not upload back to camera. Why would I want to upload to camera?....if you wanted to play the edited footage on the TV or record to tape or freestanding DVD recorder. Of course if you have a DVD recorder in your PC it's not a problem. (Personally I like to edit and upload back to tape to keep an edited copy) Also when there is a DV in/out facility there is usually an ability to convert analogue footage to digital signal footage. (so you can record older tapes to digital tapes)

I have that also but it also says "Our acceptance of your order will take place when we despatch the products to you"

Best place for tapes is http://www.aprmedia.com/category.php?cid=5

don't forget not to mix your tapes about from brand to brand as the different residues on the tapes can affect the heads. From personal experience Panasonic are good for Sony camcorders £1.59 each.+p&p

Yes I did...I'm not sure if you get the 20% discount any other way?

When I paid with CC it said "If you are a new customer you will automatically receive 20% off your first order. the amount after discount will be cahrged to your debit/credit card, or shown on your first statement."

Anyone else pay with CC?

Thanks to OP!
