    Hi Guys,
    Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I was wondering if this camcorder in Lidl is any good?
    Would any of you know where to get a decent one for cheaper?

    Storage media: SD/SDHC memory card up to max. 8GB

    I'd be concerned about that tbh...especially if you are recording media at the maximum resolution of the cam (1440 x 1080), as it'll fill quite rapidly. A better bet would be to try and find a cam that has an internal HDD.

    With a max capacity of up to 8GB don't be expecting much footage, not to mention when recording in Full HD, you would want a class 10 SD Card, otherwise you could run into problems with it writing.

    Thanks guys, I knew there had to be a drawback. I'll have a surf about for a HDD type one. I have an old DV camera, it's pritty good but I like the quick transfer of the newer cameras

    Be careful what you choose. AVCHD serious chomps at your computer's capabilities.:) Would you consider tape?

    I'd consider anything, I need something with decent sound that's handy to use. Preferably small enough to be attached to a car windscreen.

    Have you seen the Key Fob remote/camcorders in the "Bargains Alert" section on Boards? I bought a couple of them a few months ago and picture and sound quality are surprisingly good (considering the cam only cost ~€10!). I've one mounted under the rear view mirror of my car to record journeys.
