Hi all, Not sure if this is the right forum for this post so, Mods please move if necessary. I'm basically in search of a hi-def camcorder. I'm looking for best bang for buck so im prepared to pay up to 500 euro on one. For convenience I would prefer one with a HDD. I have read somewhere on the boards that you get better…

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this post so, Mods please move if necessary.

I'm basically in search of a hi-def camcorder. I'm looking for best bang for buck so im prepared to pay up to 500 euro on one. For convenience I would prefer one with a HDD. I have read somewhere on the boards that you get better image quality if you record onto mini-dv tapes or the like, but for someone like myself that just wants the camcorder for home family movies ( christmas, birthdays, family outings etc etc.) the HDD option should do. Also I reckon it would be easier to upload from the camcorder to a PC with a HDD. Any info on what I should look out for when reviewing different brands or spec's would be welcomed.

What do you think of the panasonic sd9 or Sony SR1E Handycam 1080i

Thanks all
