Hi guys,
a friend of mine is looking to get a camera for general familty/holiday stuff etc...
His budget is £500 (£750 usd approx) max, so the canon HV30 is out - as that goes for at least £600 not counting eBay.,
He's not too fussed about HDV vs avchd, not too fussed about HDD V tape V mem cards.
I had a quick look on the boards but coudn't find a similar thread so apologies if this has been asked before.
The only cameras in this area I have personal experience with the Sony HC-1, but thats a bit dated now.
As I understand it avchd is slightly less in quailty compared to HDV?
MY friend wont really be doing any editing, so thats not much of an issue.
So to recap, I'm looking for the best sub £500 ($750) HD camcorder.
Thanks in advance
James
