A friend of mine is after a camcorder.
There are a whole load out there and I reccomended her the Mini DV ones.
Does anoyone know of any good places that have some good deals?

I think she should avoid the DVD ones as they are more bulky and I havent heard much good from them.
Ideally a good optical zoom is needed and a firewire out for connecting to PC.
Yet it has to be easily playable back on her TV too.

Anyone bought a camcorder recently and can reccomend anything ?

Many thanks.
