cant go far wrong with sony cams generally regarded as the best. The touch screen controls are good.

check out these forums great for anything like that, bare in mind though these people are perfectionists and will complain about something i wouldnt even notice <_< http://www.avforums.com/

I not even looked at the forum tbh, i wont know what they'll be babling on about anyway, the tech specs are good enough for me
Anyhow, thought just incase anyone else is interested in a camcorder, as its near xmas and peeps seem to like to splash money about, or as a m8 at work has done

m8 : Going to buy my wife a nice top of the range DVD Recorder (as in the ones for like telly's not for a PC)
me : for her hey? bull, more like for you but for as a gift to her Homer styley, a bowling ball with Homer written on it.
m8 : well, i might use it a few times i guess

Anyway
I have only really looked at a few different sites... BUT :

DCR-HC14E :
Dabs = £280 inc vat
Ebuyer = £300 inc vat
Amazon (uk) = £244 inc vat
Bargain...

Go that extra mile and add the extras?
Handycam Carry Case :
Dabs = £37 inc vat
Amazon = 17.99 inc vat

Spare Battery :
Ebuyer = £42 inc vat
Amazon = ££29 inc vat

Basically can get Camcorder, Spare battery, Case all under the price of the camcorder from somewhere else

Just thought i'd share it all with you incase

Not bad at all good price too, another good one is the Samsung VP-D102, but the sony's better

Yeah! You need the Sony so you can do your own "Most Haunted" sitting in a pitch black room, pooing yourself every time a floorboard creeks.

I got a Panasonic a few years back and although its good, it would be nice to have the 0 Lux to get better lighting in darker areas, cos the "Colour night vision" mine has is rubbish (mpeg 4 style)!
