Buying first camcorder,buget £200

Any advice welcome.

I'm buying my first camcorder and would like some questions answered.

Whats the best product to a £200 limit?

Is it worth getting 1 with a built in hard drive?

Does a camcorder have a maximum gigabyte sd card size? e.g 8gb max

I have been looking at the PANASONIC SDR-S26EB-K. this seems the best to me but I'd like a better opinion.

thanks

Any in this price range is most likely to perform similarly
I would stick close to the Sony Canon Panasonic JVC " names"

Why not. if you get one

Yes but more recent models are more likely to not have this limitation

Why what dont you like about it?
If you up your budget or want Hi def you will get better otherwise they are broadly similar in ability , video quality and features ( usually not very much by way of..)
