Just been given a 300 quid amazon gift voucher . I’ve decided to buy a mini DV camcorder with it. So it must be:

Available on amazon.co.uk
Under 300 quid
A MiniDV format recorder

I mainly want to use it for high speed in car filming whilst attached to one of those suction mount brackets.

So far I’ve found:

Sony DCR-HC22E

Sony DCRHC35

JVC GR-DF470EK

Canon MV850i

Sony DCRHC24

Any recommendations out of those? The Sony range is particularly bewildering. There seems to be a lot of overlap between models.

At that price range i'd go for the Canon - it has the all important AV in (if you wanted to add a bullet cam later), and comes with an included wide angle lens - good for indoor and in car work.

At a slightly higher price I would go for Sony however.
