Im hunting for a HDV-camera but I cant deside which one to buy. Iv been looking at a few and Iv fallen for the Sony HC-series. The one i think would suit me best is the HDR-HC5 but Iv also noticed that there is a HDR-HC5E model but i cant seem to understand what the difference between them is. Can someone explain it to me?

So is there anyone who own any of these two models and can tell me a bit about them and how your experience with them has been. How good does they work in the dark or low-light enviroments? Mabey even send me a sample clip.

Another big problem is where im gonna buy it. Here in Sweden I have to pay at least $1400 for a brand new one but Iv been looking at a few places in the US and I can get one at almost half that price. Where would you recomend I buy it?

These are the places Iv found:
Regalcamera
eBay =)
I have seen a few places even cheaper but i dot think they shipp to Sweden.

And if I do buy one from the US will it be comportable with Swedish power outlet (230 AC)? Probably not =) but other comportable issues that I might overlooked. Does a US version of the model recorde in NTSC format? We have PAL format on our Televisions here in Sweden so does a model sold in Sweden record in PAL?


Sorry for all stupid questions and BIG thanks / Rikard
