    Apologies to mods if this is in the wrong section .. please feel free to move it where you think is most appropriate.

    Im looking for advice on camcorders ... Ive narrowed it down to 2 choices , looking for opinions on both - from people who actually own one of these or who are familiar with the specs etc ... I want a camcorder for basic everyday stuff , holidays , birthday parties , easy transfere to PC for DVD buring etc . I don't need it to double as a digi camera for "stills" ...
