Preferably to buy offline or order and collect in store (unless its a really great deal)

Budget is around the 150 mark, this is just for family shooting nothing professional or anything obviously for this price mark.

No mini dv as i dont have a dvd recorder or a vhs, any other format will be fine (pros and cons from an expert would be nice)

If its a little more than the budget thats fine ..... HD isnt an option as im ugly enough in sd .... unless they have come down to the £250 price bracket then i may stretch

So in short ....

I need a point and shoot camera that isnt mini dv do you have any reccomendations

Thanks

ok its £180 records to dvd its a sony Sony DCR-DVD110E but its only to buy online from cclonline.co.uk they are a very good company, plus reviews of the camera online seem to be pretty reasonable, also i tihk you can record to a sony duo memory stick as well on the camera

or a samsung
http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/pro...MSUNG-VP-DX100 for £150


thats the best i could come up with

What do you think about the Hitachi DZHS300E? The only thing is you have to buy it online for £146.66 but the recording format is Hard Drive/ DVD.
Maybe you will read a few reviews on it and make up your own mind about it.
Hope it helps!

Something different. I just bought the Kodak Zi6. I love it.

£120
HD (720p video)
Small enough to fit in your pocket
Point and shoot
SD/SDHC
Pop out USB connector (like the Flip)

I bought a 16GB card from Amazon for £20 and its enough for over 5 hours of HD video.

Records straight to H264 mpeg4 so its a drag and drop affair once you've connected it via USB.

Works with 2 AA batteries and comes with a couple with a charger. I prefer this as if you are going away you can pick up AA batteries from anywhere so no need to worry about finding a socket to charge up a lithium-ion battery.

Colour me impressed.

perhaps a digital camera with decent video capture... perhaps?


would that not be the same / almost the same quality as that kodak contraption?

or a camera phone??
