hi
i bought a hitachi d36ft from argos today

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5634000.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=tsid:11527|cc:|prd:5634000|cat:photography+%2F+camcorders+and+accessories+%2F+camcorders+%2F

and im taking it back tomorrow as the recording looks terrible when i play it back on my tv its all blurred and grainy , surely this cant be right for a HD camcorder?
any how what should i replace it with? can i take it back? my wife really wants this style of camcorder that you hold like a gun

Not used the Kodak

Have a Toshiba Camileo and a Sony HDR TG3 E and the Toshiba takes better movies.

The Sony at its highest quality setting is poor with it being very sensitive to movement and having a look as if the edges have been subjected to scissors

Have seen the Toshiba P100 for around £113 but not seen the retailer before

Thing with reviews is they all seem to look for different features, though the user reviews on amazon can be useful

I have the Kodak zx5 & took it on holiday with me to Egypt. It went through dust clouds, drops, knocks & even snorkelling with me & produced great video & stills - well worth the money:money:
