Hi, we have a budget of £200 and would really like a waterproof camcorder to take on our hols.
Had a look around and seen these 2...
Sanyo VPC-CA9EBK HD Waterproof Dual Video and Photo Camera
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294
and
Sanyo VPC-WH1EYL HD Waterproof Dual Video & Photo Camera
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294
First one is cheaper and more compact but the reviews say the battery only lasts an hour so I am favouring the second one as the battery life is 3 hours and it has a bigger optical zoom than the first one.
I like the waterproof aspect on both so won't panic if it gets wet but I do want good video quality in day and night situations too.
Does anyone have these camcorders and could give advice please?
Or anyone with better tech knowledge than me say what they think.
I can get the second one a bit cheaper than Amazon, £170, but offer ends tonight so time is paramount!
Thank you.

Sorry to bump my post, but has anyone got any advice please?
If the above 2 aren't much good, I would welcome any suggestions for a camcorder with a budget of £200.
THanks.Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.
