Im possibly looking into the market of buying a cheap DV camera, sort of £200-£300 maybe. Its going to replace a Sony MicroMV camera which i can't stand, mainly as its Sony, uses their rubbish software and its MicroMV which Adobe Premiere wont read.

Il mainly be using the camera for days out at Race Circuits, maybe holidays and I just want some good quality film from it. The camera itself doesn't need any special features as long as it records, good battery life and I can plug in my Firewire and take the footage off with ease. Nothing more, nothing less.

Any suggestions of Brands or a Specific camera I could look at? Or anything I should definitly get (be it a good camera or a specific useful feature) bearing in mind all editing il do on computer so nothing special req'd on the camera itself.

Cheers guys.
