Purchasing A Camcorder

17-01-2006, 3:54 PM

Hello All

I know you have all heard this a hundred times

I am interested in buying a Digital camcorder, I would like to spend the right money to buy Quality. £ 600 if needs be.
I am hopefully travelling this year so I am looking for a tough, slim, lightweight and relatively easy to use ( when your in a hurry etc ) Ccorder.
I would like to be able to put footage on my Computer and also display to TV.

I am told the Sony DCR-HC90E is a good make, I take it I can increase the MB's to 256 etc? and also it works in the dark?

Im sorry to annoy but it seems you can help me out

I can confirm that the H90 is a good allround camcorder for the price. It also takes good pictures and records well in low light, however no camcorder will record in the dark without a video light.
It meets all of your described requirements and has an 'easy' button on the side which makes it ready to shoot.
I presume you are reffering to PC RAM when you talk about increasing to 256 Mb, I think you will find this a bit limited for video editing and you should have at least 1Gb.
Here are some links to camera reviews:
