I am getting married next year and I have decided that i need to get myself a camcorder to record the run up to the day, the wedding itself and the honeymoon. I have done some research into this area but with the number of different models on the market I am confused as to the best device to buy for my money and would appreciate some advice off others.

I am fairly conversant with electrical products so it doesn't need to be 'idiot-proof', but also not too complicated to use either.

I have considered the Sony Handycam DVD202e and I have set my budget at around £400-500 and ideally would like some form of image stabiliser and the ability to edit the footage taken on my pc and record it onto dvd from different discs / tapes to give to family etc.

Any help would be gratefully received,

Many thanks in advance.
