Best HD Camcorder under £200 please

princessnadi

Hi ya

I'm looking to buy a new camcorder and don't know where to start -

I've been looking at the samsung HMx R10 but it's around the £300 price - i'd love to have it if anyone can find it cheaper than £260.00. through looking on the forum here but as i say it's too much out of my price range

can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative please and also apparently the above doesn't have the optical stabalisation - is that necessary?

Depending on where you look you can find some goodies

JVC do the Everio which records in Full 1080p HD and has a 60GB HDD

It's way more than £300 but if your prepared to hunt around on eBay you could get lucky

Whatever you do don't buy the one from Maplin at £149, total tosh & if it's HD then hello, i'm the new Pope......

You take the risk with everything wherever your buying from. eBay still has lots of protection

Just make sure you are buying from someone with a high feedback score and you know you'll be good.

after some looking around my hubby decided that we don't really need a hd camcorder as we'll only be using it to capture birthdays so it's not worth spending alot of money for it to gather dust so we;ve decided on this - samsung c10 it's got very good review image quality not good,noy very good in bad light so do i compromise or go for the hd instead
