Hey folks, thanks for the help with the camcorder choice - I'm currently trying to get a hold of an HV10.
Unfortunately I think I've made a mistake with the miniDV tapes as I've ordered these which arrived today:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MiniDV-...3479422&sr=8-8
Now I saw the premium in the image and in the comments, so assumed I was getting premium tapes but they're not, they look the same as the picture but without the premium part.
To make matters worse, Amazon have these Premium tapes in for a bargan 11 pounds ( I paid 20):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Pack-mi...3479422&sr=8-1
I can return the tapes to Purely Gadgets (sold through Amazon) and get a refund minus the original postage (£4.50) plus the cost of sending it back then buy the Amazon tapes. All out it's probably going to cost me the same plus a bit of hassle - is it worth it?
Thanks for any thoughts,
John
