Simple Camcorder recommendation
 
Hi all

My mum is after a really 'simple' camcorder (DV) one she can video the grandchildren plug into a VHS and copy to that. She does not want anything to flash....................any recommendations

Many thanks

Mike

What VCR has she got and what inputs does it have on it? Does it have a secondary SCART input or RGB ports? Most DV camcorders will be easy to connect up to the VCR but depending on wether she has easy to reach inputs at the front of the VCR she may still have problems ;)

Morning Paul....................the VCR a recent one and does have a scart input and video in at the front ...I guess I will just get a basic camcorder model. However I will check the output from it

Thanks

I dont think you get RGB ports as such on UK VCRs - Integrated into the SCART plugs. Pretty much all Video cameras output purely in Composite.
