Hi

I'm looking to buy my first camcorder and considering the new Sony DCR-PC8. Apart from general use, I do a lot of cycling and would like to use this in conjunction with a minature 'helmet cam'.

Has anyone here used this and if so, could you answer the following for me please:

- Does it have analog inputs?
- Is it possible to use it (as a recording device) without having to open the LCD screen?
- Does it have DV in and is this enabled on the UK version?


Many thanks for any advice you can give!

Get yourself a copy of this month's What Camcorder magazine - the PC8 is reviewed therein.

Are there any online reviews of the PC8?

Thanks,

RES999,
Search with www.google.com, or why not buy the magazine suggested by Matt F?

I already have what camcorder and have checked google and found nothing. When spending that much money i like to check quite a few sources before parting with my cash!

I just did the google and 28 pages there... admittedly translating helps but quite a few opinions....
Can't disagree with finding out before you buy

Cheers gringottsdirect, i only saw the foreign websites and didn't think of translating them.
