Camcorders

Hi, I just wanted to know what the best brand of camcorders is to buy. Its an xmas prezzie for me from my mum so i can record special moments with my baby, she was looking to spend about £350 tops!

And I was looking to choose between Sony, JVC and Samsung! I reckon I will be using it frequently. I want something small, not too big to carry around as well. I have been looking at the JVC Everio GZ-HD10 or Samsung HX-105 (seen it on sale)

Any ideas?

    Sony and JVC both have a history of producing good camcorders. The other brand I like is Panasonic. I've no idea what Samsung ones are like but I'm sure they owuld be fine.

    I've just bought this the rest of your budget would buy a suitable SD card.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    I have a Panasonic SD, the S7. Brilliant camcorder, would definitely recommend getting anything in their range.

    If you don't need HD as above, then this is ideal (and cheaper)
