Sony Digital Camcorders

elsavo

Dear MSEs,

AM thinking of getting a digital camcorder and Which? magazines advises in favour of the Sony DCR109e which I found at 450 on Ebuyer. Come on folks can you beat that with some of your gimmick?

ALSO,

Browsing around I looked up the bigger brother the PC DCR 350, which e-retails around 750. When looked up on one a US site, it was retailing close to 580...

Is there a difference in standard when it comes down to MINIDV technology?

Check Tony Morgan's website for excellent overall advice:

IIRC, there are issues with PAL vs NTSC formats on EU vs US versions of camcorders. Then there is import duty and warranty to worry about, so I deemed it not worth it to buy from overseas.

I used his pricematch tip and bought from Jessops when they price matched against the lowest online price I could find for my Sony DCR HC40.

Hope this helps.
