I want a digital camcorder, I have limited funs and a monthly income of only £50. I want my camera to be DV in/out, be of relatively good sound and picture quality. Must have a screen on the side and as I've said not to be too expensive. Please no analogue camcorders. Please list all the ones you find here, with prices and a link if possible. Thanks loads people :D

Yeh guess I should IB. Still, I think I'll try and get a proper bo stills digital camera. I've needed a camera of my own for ages anyway and a nice digital one should do the trick:D

Yeah, wait til you can afford a quality one, and get a good editing package for it too.

Before you know it you'll be making mini star wars films.

Well today in my media studies class we made sort of improvised movies with digital cameras. We were split into two groups, guys and gals which meant that the 4 guys (including me) and the 3 gals had to go off with the cameras to make up something off the top of our heads. I ended up being the co-star WOO HOO heh:D It started off like Phone Booth with one guy talking on the phone and getting told his mates dad had just died. Then we decided to leave the phone but still have a sniper (me!). I ended up shooting him from the media studies window up on the second floor as he was talking in the playground. We actually managed to film that quite well. Then we decided to go for a god father effect with the guy I just killed being part of a mob and when they found out it was me we got a variety of shots of me just being chased around the school (fantastic lol!) Finally we decided to stick a bit of Hannibal Lector in there by using one of those things they use to carry crates. You know the wooden things with two metal prongs at the bottom and wheels on to carry them about? To carry my dead body after they'd killed me lol. No one could keep a straight face though lol. I ended up being dragged by my legs across the floor for the death scene. Still funny but a bit less funny.

Anywat in conclusion i had a blast doing that and it gave me a real kick so i want to do it again :D

What do you want the camcorder for anyway?

if you want it for making family fun DVDs, fine. If you want to make your own mock zombie movies and stuff, I'd wait until you can afford a decent model.

Yeh I know:( I am going to get about £200 for christmas though so even if I don't spend all of that on a digi cam I should at least be able to buy a nice stills camera.

Personally, I would suggest you wait until January, and try to pick up something in the sales on finance, a monthly income of £50 isn't going to get you much otherwise.

I'm in the market for a digicamcorder too.

By contrast, I have a monthly income of shedloads, and a budget for buying the camcorder outright of £1,000.

Help me, help me.
