Planning to pick one up in the sales (so it may cost £600 curently).

Must be digital and I want to be able to output to my lap top or PC.

Advice welcome.

I have gone for the Canon MV630i, see results www.fccuk.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=180217&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1
I'm really pleased with it, bought it from PC world for about £400ish on sale.

Just a personal opinion, but JVC kit at this end of the market tends not to be as good as others.

At the Pro end of the market, JVC are right up there, but at the budget end, Canon and Sony kit tend to have better lenses on them.

I've got SONY TRV14 which is great apart from no DV IN! Connects Via USB or FireWire

Got a price match at Jessops with a print out from this site

www.berridgemail.co.uk/products.php?productId=1035

The Link above is next model up TRV19 with DV in/out, very compact and a CArl Zeiss Lens.

Well hope that helps.
