    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply. Around 300 euro I guess...well as little as possible!
    Something reasonably simple, quick to record..will most likely at some point be viewing recordings on a flat screen tv...and transferring to dvd/hard drive

    I guess the biggest question I have is is PAL/NTSC important these days.

    Cheers

    At that price range you shouldn't have to worry about NTSC/PAL comparisons as they will all most likely be PAL.

    I can't give you any recommendations for specific makes/model at that price range but try to get a camcorder with either a hard drive or some sort of memory card recording capability.

    The last thing you want to worry about when you are on your hols is tapes for your camcorder.

    Here are a couple of links
