Camcorders??

[Tyssen]

My mum and step dad have asked for one for xmas.

I literally have no idea where to start looking, I dont know what is good and what isnt.

They will prob only use it for filming my baby sister growing up.

I have a budget of about £150 so the best I can get for that would be ideal. Anyone have any ideas?

Something like this

or maybe this

or just have a look at www.camerapricebuster.co.uk probably wont find them much cheaper than they list, unless you want to scour fleabay.

Ouh I like the first one!
Its going to have to come from somewhere like Argos or Comet though as wont have time to order offline.

Thanks for the ideas though.

Bit more than budget but takes funking awesome videos and cracking pictures. Only camera I think realistically bridges the void between handhelds that take videos and camcorders that take pictures. SRS recommendation, although it may be a bit much. In terms of taking it out and about and shooting random clips:

That's a good one. Not so hot all-round but the price reflects this. Possibly the cheapest 'branded' way into HD camcorders that are any good, IMO.

I do like the second one, the first is a little out of my price range unfortunately

If you can deal with second hand:

But I appreciate that it's a gift - I know I'd feel a bit off giving someone a second-hand present but only you know whether they'd appreciate it for what it is rather than feel a bit had - and I don't mean that in a bad way!
