Got a lower version of the Sony HDR-HC9E
<http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hdd-hdv/hdr-hc9e/tab/technicalspecs#tab> at
work - last year's model. Pretty good for a Handycam: CMOS sensor,
audio in. 'Spose it depends if you want DV/HDV or flash cards. For the
price I'd probably go with DV tape though.
Got 'em at Amazon for £645, but try Visual Impact Northern
<http://www.visuals.co.uk/VisualImpactNorthern/> - their sales guy Rob
usually sorts me out with a really good price. Good luck.

Thanks Jim,
I will have a look. I had some miniDV standard-def cameras before - but
had bad experience with sometimes the picture breaking up, was thinking
a hard disk model would solve that and also give me random access which
would be great. Just considering that lowers my range considerably
though so will give tape a look, thanks for the suggestion :)
