Looking for a Beginner Camcorder

[darkryu]

A few years ago I got in to photography and recently I have started to become interested in trying my hand at doing some Video. My only problem is I’m a little stuck on what to get. I am interested in getting something in the miniDV range of camcorders but other then that don’t really know what I should be looking for. What would you guys recommend for someone who is just looking to start out?

If you need any information on my part please just ask!

Do you have a budget in mind?

I was looking to spend around the £200 area

Pretty spot on, there aren't that many miniDV models left at any budget range anyway. The 205 would be the better one
Panasonic or Sony models cost a bit more maybe better but not by much

"Gold Coast" in Aussie or even Ghana ( In West Africa) are little way away from any of Canon Uks retail outlets though.
I guess the model names are the same in Australia
