Well, it seems that lately they are not very popular in Ireland anymore. Did they realize they can't use them as they thought they would? In previuos Argos catalogue you could've found loads of models (well, don't take it literally, as there are not even loads of them being produced...), but in the last catalogue you can barelly find 3 of them, 2 Sony's and a Hitachi. Which was a surprise for me, for I thought only Sony produced miniDVD camcorders, but I think I was wrong. Anyway, the idea: not so popular anymore. But guess why? People are looking for camcorders with memory stick. I'm not sure it's the right term for naming them, I don't even bother to find out, all I know is that's even worse. Should I mention people taking video (on a wedding, as guests of course) on their camera phone? I couldn't stop laughing... honestly... People, take care what camcorder you're buying and don't be ashamed to ask for some advice first. Again, just my opinion. Good luck!
