Camcorder, £150-200. HELP!!!!

[Rooty]

Hi,

Please can someone recommend a decent camcorder within the above price bracket.

It's for capturing family growing up, holidays etc. The usual stuff. So something that will give decent picture and sound quality- is 1080p a must?

I don't see the point of spending a fortune as it's going to get thrown from pillar to post..

At the moment i'm finding it a minefield but have narrowed it down to the following-

Samsung F90

Samsung H200

Sony CX280

Panasonic V210

If anyone can help guide me that'd be great.

Cheers,

James

I'm actually being serious here, but how about just using your phone's camera?
They are VERY good these days, you will always have it on you and camcorder for £150 really won't be anything amazing.

Or if you are happy to spend a little bit more (£270) check out Canon S120 - you will also have a very good, very pocketable camera and I'm VERY pleased with its video capabilities.
