I was wondereing if any of this group could make any recomendadtions for a DV Camcorder.

I am totally new to camcorders having never used or owned one.

I have a budget of about 350 to 400 pounds.

I will be using for family type videos i.e. kids birthdays christmas weddings etc.

It would be nice to be able to take still photos as well.

And also be bice to be able to copy the movies to DVD/VCD via my PC.

Thanks for any advice.

Canon MVX250i

I brought this one this year after taking back the Sony DH40 model (i think). Quality of this camera is excellent, especially because in low light conditions there is no grain at all in the picture, i was very impressed with it at about £500.

You also get the benefits of being able to take photos with it which are simply amazing since they have 1600 by 1200 resolution.
