Which Camcorder?

I’m looking at camcorders for a friend for an upcoming trip: I think I’ve settled on the versatile (and tiny) Sony DCR-HC21. I’m amazed at how small camcorders are getting now#–with the size comparable to regular still cameras, I can’t imagine people not using them when on vacation. In the past, I know I was guilty of bringing the camcorder, and then not using it because it was just too big. Those days are long gone…

With, of course, the bigger battery (NP-FP71)…

Some Mini-DV tapes…

And a digital camera for the stills…

The perfect vacation package.

Wow. It’s cute, but what happened to your other camcorder? You might be wondering why I’m not at school right now. Let’s just say 4 vs 4 (guys against girls) rib eating contest last night.

 

It’s not for me#–I am just acting as well-informed techno-geek friend who knows what to buy and why. :) I wish though!
