How much was it, out of interest?

[fatrich]

£279.99 + £4.95 post cost which i didn't think was bad, just gone through their web site and no more listed.

Andrew,
Just out of interest can you please advise me on the best type of memory card to use with this Camcorder? (size and brand)

kind regards

Either a Class 4 or Class 6 SDHC card will be fine. Size is up to you. I prefer the smaller cards - if one fails, you don't lose as much video.

I've got a bunch of Transcend Class 6 cards which I use with a Panasonic SD9 - about half are 4GB (a good size for making archive / backup DVDs, as a DVD takes around 4GB of data), and half 8GB.

There are a few posts in this forum from people who've had corrupted data using Transcend, but I've not had any problems in over a year's use. Another option would be Sandisk, but they're considerably more expensive. Along with Transcend at the middle of the range is Kingston.

Whatever you opt for, shop around for a good deal. Check Amaz*n, 7dayshop, memorybits, etc. There's usually about a week's turnaround on SDHC card orders, in my experience.
