Looking to buy a harddrive camcorder, to take to the on holiday for around £300.
Anyone give me some advice on what make to buy or point me in the right directions i was looking at the Sony DCR-SR42 that was the first one i have seen.
Make sure you try them (especially Sony) in low light conditions, many people have complained about quality in low light which stopped me buying one last October. I was looking at Sony ones as I already have a MiniDV sony.
Other things to watch is battery life the standard one is pants so you will need another, use eBay and get a "similar" type not from sony
I got my high capacity battery for a Panasonic minidv from http://www.memorybits.co.uk/ massively cheaper.. They actually went out of stock on my order but I received a phone call notifying me and the due delivery date change which was correct
