Buying camcorder in Waterford

Heathen

Hey folks,

I am looking to buy a HD digital camcorder for in and around €300-400 price range.. over the past few days i have been comparing models online and doing a little research, then i decided to go see whats in the shops in the hope of buying local. But i am having trouble finding a shop with a decent range of models or staff that are trained in the features and comparisons. Today i was in the Sony shop down by woodies and they only had 2 camera's both which are older models, yesterday i went to harvey normans and they only had 3 or 4 down there, PC world had an ok range but the prices were way off what you can get online on Irish sites...

I am wondering if there is anywhere with a good range or staff that are camera geeks? Sherwoods used to have decent stock from what i remember, so i am just looking to see does anyone know of any decent camera shops that stock HD digital camcorders?

Thanks all

Sherwoods are still in kilkenny and clonmel and carlow if you still wanted to pop in there also they have a website at sherwoods.ie so you can have it delivered to your door.

Also did you try D.I.D or electrocity (Kelly & Dollard)? They are still in Waterford .

What about Hennebry's Camera Shop on the Quay? That's as local as you can get. Prices are a bit more expensive but haggle a bit.

I got this, incredible machine.

It is HD, HDD so you can save around 14 hrs on the camera and then later t/f it to DVD or another HD
