Any of the NP's know something about camcorders?
Looking for one, budget not more than 500, need full HD 1920x1080, should be good in low light, decent image stabiliser, good battery life...

Was looking at these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-HDRCX115EB-Definition-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B0031U1AJ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335358197&sr=1-1

a bit pricier:

Any you would recommend? Things to look out for?
Thanks

James has got the Sony one.....very good quality and works well in dim lighting.

My take on stuff is that if you buy extra stuff, you have to consciously get that stuff out and take it out with you .... to specifically use the stuff. Because of this, the stuff you buy doesn't get used as it's too much of a faff, especially if you're with other people and moving about.

So .... there's an advert on the telly of a fashion shoot and a bloke skydives out of a plane to capture video and stills.... and he sends off the pictures before he lands. It's advertising some posh phone.

It'd be worth finding out which camera/cam that was and weigh up whether having that as you only/main phone might be a better idea as then you've not got to carry some extra stuff with you when you think you might want to take some moving pictures.

Edit: I looked... it's the HTC One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3n2v8YJ6VA

Yeah but, while we might not toss and turn about recession tonight we might not get to sleep for concern of pollution of the seas, landfill , destruction of the rainforest and the poles melting.......

Eurovision has always been a HUGE joke.... cool people didn't watch it, except to mock. Terry Wogan would just get more and more p155ed, which is the only reason a few people bothered to watch it.

They have had their moments, this one only finished 3rd in 1958.

lostinrates has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

(says she looking and realising she's on 96% herself)

You have to be ruthless about this.

Don't you need one repeat of the chorus in English for Eurovision?

And what was the guy in the yellow t-shirt bringing - was he the host or part of the act?

Just going to point this out; she’s 14, and henceforth, the act would be in breach of the rules.

Russia’s sending 6 grannies to Baku :eek:

I’m Head of Georgian delegation this year :cool:

The first year they did the rich list it was interesting, now I really just don't care.

THe company’s just gone into overdraft, so it’s certainly not me on there at the moment!
