Hi,
I am about to purcahse a new digital camcorder, but am a little unsure which model to go for. My budget is somewhere in the region of £500 - £700 for the camera, although if it is towards the top end of this range, there will be less available for the required accessories...
I have narrowed the choice down to the following:
1. JVC GR-DV4000
2. Canon MVX 150i
3. Sony DCR-TRV33
4. Sony DCR-PC105
I have little experience with filming, so initially the camcorder will be used in "point and click" mode, however, things may change as I progress with the camcorder.
The main reason for the purchase is to take the camcorder on a snowboarding holiday, so it will be used outdoors a lot, for action shots. Also, size/shape is a factor as it needs to go into a back pack, and the smaller the camcorder, the more room for padding...
