hi guys got around £200 to spend on one, was told that dvd and memory card camcorders can be unreliable and with the memory card ones they are in mp4?

iv reccomended to get a mini DV cam i know they have been around but apparently they are reliable etc


can any one shed some light? so far iv seen a sony hc37 which looks good

 

I have a SONY DCR-HC30E.
NEVER AGAIN would I buy a SONY, repaired 4 times in 7 months, the last repair lasted till just 2 weeks out of warranty, never had been repaired correctly, so now left with SONY saying nothing to do with us, and a dud camcorder!!
It is a pity as it really is a cracking piece of kit when going right, and had I not had a bad experience would defo have got another SONY when needed.

cheers mate, i rekon i will go for a sony and make it a mini dv as they are broadcast quality

 

The quality is amazing but to be honest my digital still camera is as good.
I have a FUJI FINEPIX S 9600, it can hold over 1 hour recording no problem making my camcorder obsolete!!
