I also bought from KrishAV - they are really good.

I got the JVC DVL357. This is an excellent camcorder. It also has a built in digital camera (not really good though as resolution is only 800,000 pixels). Can`t fault the digital camcorder part though - it is really good.

Cost me £500

I like the Canon as I have a Canon Hi8 which is good.

£399 good price but whats the delivery cost?

She has seen a Sony DCRTRV16 for £418.69 inc delivery from http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/PRC/PRC.storefront but I`m not a big fan of Sony.

With DV being so small I like the small camcorders like the Panasonic NVGS1B at only £399.99 including delivery from below

Has anyone seen any reviews of any of these camcorder because I can`t find any??
