Chapeast mini DV with DV out camcorder?

[OM2]

OK... I know this probably isn't the place to post... but I couldn't find anywhere else... so I thought I'd give it a go here anyway...

Can someone recommend where the cheapest place to get a mini DV camcorder with out is?

I'm based in the UK, and need somewhere to buy from here.

I've searched around and the cheapest price I'm getting is about £210 including delivery.

I'm not bothered about the camcorder as all I want is the DV out function.

Thanks.

Ebay, you will need a PAL model.

hmm... ebay isn't always a bargain.
if u know where to buy, then ebay is not all that much a bargain.
if the price difference is £30 say, then i'd rather go for a new model with guarantees.

try www.camcorderinfo.com, they have them listed by price w/reviews.

He wanted cheapest and didn't specify a new model. He just wants "DV out" from something. I assume this means the camera section is irrelevant.

"£210 including delivery" is hard to beat with a new one.

£150 buy it now for this JVC (plus GBP 13.50 Royal Mail Special Delivery United Kingdom Only)

check out:


www.currys.co.uk
www.dixons.co.uk
www.pcworld.co.uk

normally these places r more expensive than others.
but... for selected items u can get a bargain.
i sometimes forget to check these places after doing a search at the usaul retailers.

i've bought the cheapest one from currys.
it looks pretty good spec for the price.

what camera section?
am i missing something here?

If you buy the cheapest, you get the least impressive camera section in the camcorder. The "corder" half is pretty much standardized.

The entry Panasonic and Samsung appear similar.

The "cam" half of the camcorder.


PS: There are £200 MiniDV camcorders and there are >£2000 MiniDV camcorders. The lion's share of difference is in the "cam" section.
