Beyond that, it depends on features, size, weight, and so forth you desire -- and money you want to spend. eg. a very cheap DV Sharp Camcorder can be had for less than $300! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005BABT/qid=1014838578/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_3_1/002-7349982-5801611 It's not the most reliable, but figure if you get one that works, you've saved a lot of money. (read the Amazon.com user reviews) See www.fatwallet.com/forums/ -> hot deals for the lowest price you can get for this one. My own pick? JVC GR-DVP3U World's smallest DV camcorder available. http://www.epinions.com/597500_JVC_GR_DVP3U_Digital_Video_Camera Nothing like being able to fit it into the pocket of a jean! (cute Japanese ad too, fits just fine in the model's pocket) I've used bigger camcorders like the smaller PC100 Sony's, but they're just still too bulky. Otherwise, any Sony Digital8 camcorder because they're cheap ($500 range) and do a decent job at everything well. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
