Sony HC22 - Pity they didn't reduce that one, because if they had met or beat Amazon's price (£290 or so) I would have probably purchased

Oh well...

picked up the last hc-14 in the leeds area today, many thanks. i used to have a posher £500 TRV-22, this one is much lower spec but should do the trick for what i need it for (messing about with friends mainly!).

I am happy that you managed to get the last hc-14. The sale prices are not like last RO reductions. I picked up the sony TRV22e in the last RO sale for about £162.

obviously deals come and go. i'm happy with the price i paid.

I've been wanting a mini dv camcorder for a while now and been waiting til the price was right. I bought the Sony HC14 Camcorder yesterday for £175 following your tip, Navid, and while i've only had a quick mess about with it i'm very impressed. It's perfect for my needs... so thanks. :beer:

To anyone else considering a purchase, I did a bit of research before hand on specs and customer reviews. They helped me make a decision and hopefully will help someone else too:

I also managed to get a pack of 5 mini dv tapes for £9 (half price) as page 996 of the new catalogue states "Half Price 5 pack when bought with any Sony compatible camcorder". The reduction didn't go thru on the till so a price override was needed... i've just looked on the website and realised the Sony HC14 doesn't seem to be covered in the offer:

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=3801&langId=-1&searchTerms=5706213&go.x=0&go.y=0

So quote the ambiguous in-store catalogue rather than refer to the website on that one.

And because I spent over £100 i also got a £10 gift voucher.

Right, hope that's of use to someone. i'm now off to go and play with my new toy...
