Hi, I would like to buy a camcorder primarily to take some footage of our 7-month old son while he is still a baby!
It needs to be relatively small and light and easy to use as we're not hugely technical!
From what I've researched a Mini DV seems to be the most suitable as I'm happy to hook the camera up to the TV to show tapes to family etc.
I assume it's fairly straightforward to connect to PC if I wanted to burn onto CD?
I'm thinking of getting the Sony DCR-HC24E Handycam MiniDV Camcorder [20x Optical Zoom]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...r-21/ref=nosim
as Sony seem to be recommended and at £170 ish it's the most popular in my budget though I'd be willing to spend a little bit more if I thought it was necessary.
Any advice or recommendations appreciated.
John
