Hi all,

Sorry my first post is one asking for help...

I am in the market for a camcorder. I have never owned one before. I have used one twice!!

I have just had a child and want to buy a camcorder for no more than £300. Im going to use it for family stuff. Birthdays, holidays.. the usual boring stuff. I have a decent digital camera so dont really need the still function (but as I have read its a usual perk of the camcorders).

I'm caught between what format to use as well (no suprise there) from what I can see its either going to be a HDD or Mini Dv but... I must say I like the idea of popping a dvd into my drive and reading it!

I dont really mind on the brand name. Even if there are used camcorders that would be a good buy for me to look out for.

I had been looking at a Sony 60GB HDD DCR-SR72E.

Thanks
