Camcorder advice

Tozer

Can anyone suggest a decent camcorder up to about £250. Its to be used for a wedding and a tripod would be handy to have as well. Requirements - fairly simple to use, decent quality.

Any reviews gratefully received.

Thanks.

My daughter has the bigger brother to this, http://www.bestcameras.co.uk/shop/acatalog/Canon_FS100_SD_card_video_camera.html the FS11 which has 16GB of internal memory, the FS10 has 8GB, both these are outside your budget though. The FS100 has no internal memory and relys totally on SD cards for storage but is within your budget with £20 to obtain extra SD card(s).
She is very pleased with hers, simple to use, excellent picture quality(superb Canon lens), long battery life (no moving parts except zoom). Not too good in low light situations. Full size tripod not really necessary with image stabilisation?

Thanks for that. Looks good. Reason for the tripod is that it will be used at a wedding and want to put it on a stand for the ceremony.

Any idea what sort of length recording you can get per 1GB?
