I am looking at buying a camcorder , the samsung DVD VP-DC161, am i right in thinking that i can use any DVD R disks to redord on this then be able to play them back on my dvd player.
What do you think of this model, i just want a cheap and cheerful model, that i can record the kids xmas plays on,birthdays etc.
Any info you can give me on buying a camcorder will be helpfull, as i am totally lost right now
Thanks
Sharon

Hi there
Please, someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the type of discs you need to buy are the smaller, 8cm DVDs. You can get them as rewritables.
This way, anyone who manufactures a DVD camcorder has a "captive audience" as regular DVDs are coming down in price. Don't worry though, the smaller discs do work in DVD players and in computers.
Here's a link to the type of DVD's you would need to buy.

If you want further details of how to go about getting mini dvd discs for your camcorder, try this:-

It's only useful if you use E-bay a lot and there are some bargains in there
