Digital camcorders

[enginesuck]

Right dudes im after a camcorder in the new year. I want a digital jobby but nothing too expensive £300 ish quid max preferably less. Need it to be easy to use and easy software on the P.C. Any recomondations/suggestions?

Ideally i want to be able to make DVDs of my new nipper to send to the grandparents, and maybe a RAF vid of a forthcoming desert trip.

Cheers in advance ES

Not got a digital video cam (got an old fashioned one I bought in 2000!!), but I do you have a digital camera which I often use to shoot short clips.

If you already have a digi camera with a decent no of pixels and only using it for short clips of the kid at home etc, why not just buy a larger memory card for it to store more onto it?

Not ideal, but an idea in the meantime!

Surrrrreee thats what you want to use it for...I mean what else could you use a digi camcorder for eh?? wink wink nudge nudge :raf:

I'm guessing as optional extras you'll going for the tripod, remote control zoom and some lens cloths....

You can pick up a decent dvd camcorder for under £300 these days. I have a Panasonic one and it is brilliant. Dump the movies straight from the small disc onto my pc and then compile everything and burn it onto a normal dvd. Robert is your mums brother, done.

Picked up a Sony job for £220 quid a couple of days ago... well happy with it. Excellent editing programme too.
