Easy to use camcorder wanted

the_syco · 2010-10-14 23:20:28

Looking for an easy-to-use camcorder for my mum. Budget would in the €200 to €300 range. Must have at least a x5 optical zoom, and accept external memory cards. Up to now, she's been using a 3meg camera to video buildings whilst on holidays, but need one which has a decent res.

I have a very decent panasonic one I was going to put on adverts this week. Has a 12x optical. Takes tapes though not memory cards. Haven't got the model number but can post it tomorrow if you're interested. In almost new condition.

Thanks, but going for the flash drives/disks only.
