Hi,
I'm after a camcorder for Christmas. But I've only got about a £200-300 budget.
Out of all the ones I've looked at, something like this would be ideal if money wasn't an issue http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/p_repr/Sony-DCR-SR90E-Memory-Card-Camcorder-Reviews/32324460.html
Unfortunately that is way out of my price range, so what would be the closest thing?
I've been looking at the sony DCR-SR30, the DCR-DVD105 and the DCR-DVD205
Out of the 3, the main difference is that one is Hard Disk whilst the other 2 are DVD, ideally I want the Hard Disk version but it seems to be slightly out of my budget, still, are there any alternatives that might be in my price range? If not would the sony DVD ones be a good product, and what is the main difference between the above 2? No matter what I buy I'd most likely have to replace it in a few years anyway, so really just looking for something in my price range that is easy to start off with and would give a good picture. This is my first camcorder FYI, though I have used my Dads a few years back, and quite a few years back when they were considerably larger, lol.
