good point from above
might depend on if you want to edit, for example the best editing software(my view) is sony vegas and that works better with sony cams for an obvious reason.
you might want to look at a handycam hc40 they record to mini dv and have a touch screena dn rarly ever f**k up plus i use one :ermm: B) , but if you dont want to edit you can get a handy cam that will record straight to dvd but youll need and extra bit of money for that.
hope this helps tom tom B) :D
