I have a great little camcorder, i bought it years ago and it was expensive. They make little money on ebay now, good camera on it, great quality vid, great zoom and small and light. It is a jvc GZ-MC500 not hd but great pic, tried a jvc hd camcorder, pic was no better than my old one and much bigger and more complicated, sold it on and am happy with the MC500.Seen them go for about £ a steal at that, they were about £900 years ago, i paid £300 for mine.
