Sony ACC-DVDP DVD Camcorder Starter Kit (Compact Case, Spare Battery, DVD+RW Disc)
Sony ACC-DVDP DVD Camcorder Starter Kit (Compact Case, Spare Battery, DVD+RW Disc)
Customer Review: Can be bought much cheaper now.
I know it`s almost a year since the last review but there are lots of these kits still around at a very good price. I`ve just bought one brand new on Ebay for ?5.50. A fantastic bargain. The case is good quality and as it includes the spare battery plus a +RW Disc then there`s no reason not to buy one now. I`m almost tempted to get another one just for the battery and Disc.
Customer Review: Extremely over priced - so make sure you buy it here
This is extremely over priced for what you get. Having said that though here is where you should buy it if you want it; it is 79.99 in Argos and shopping around i’ve seen it priced higher.
For the first 2-3 weeks the little DVD case is ok. After that it doesn’t last that long as you’ll have to buy a new one because it only holds 4 DVDs.
Overall, this will be good for your handycam especially the new spare battery you’ll get with it.
I’ve bought a bigger camcorder bag and DVD case now, though.
So to round up, this is a great kit to buy to start you off but you’ll probably end up buying replacements for your camcorder.
My advice is to buy it even though its really over-priced.

JVC GR-D720 Mini DV Digital Camcorder 
GR-D720 MINI DV CAMCORDER UK
Amazon Price: ?119.00
Customer Review: Good price for what you can do
I bought this camcorder while on holiday in Singapore, just for the 2007 Sepang Maylasian Grand Prix (Came home and two months later most camcorders were becoming cheaper, Amazon sell this cheaper than what I payed! DOH!) I have never owned a camcorder before but it has good quality and does the job. It does have a lot of camera shake but I’m working on this, sure there is a function somewhere. Works well with Windows movie maker so need to buy expensive software if already got it. It has good playback on the tv too but I felt that when downloaded on the computer the image was a bit naff but again I still need to play about with it. Good thing to have if you are starting to make movies. Good value, what else do you want?
Customer Review: A no-brainer for your career.
Camcorders are highly underrated. Nowadays people think you can use your phone or digital camera to do the job, but nothing much compares to recording on a tool made for the job. Over the years I’ve recommended that people use a camera like this one to practice making speeches and presentations - this one is just the job - inexpensive, easy to use, and records onto DVDs, so you can watch the playback on your TV. Making presentations and being good on your feet is just so important nowadays. Practise making your speech or presentation on your feet in front of this camera, then review the results. Nothing will give you better, honest feedback than a camcorder - at this price it’s a no-brainer for advancing your career.

JVC GR-DX28EK F1.2 Lens Digital Camcorder 
Customer Review: Simple!!
As a 1st time buyer of a camcorder, i must admit it stayed in the box for a few weeks, as the instructions looked scary!! But i must admit, it is v v easy to understand. Should be renamed- the camcorder for dummies. Simple it may be, but the picture and sound quality you cannot fault. Now i am a camcorder user, there is 1 downside-this model does not have a memory card slot enabling you to send clips via e-mail etc or protect your special files/clips. Saying that, all in all, if you want a camcorder to just switch on, record, play back or keep on tape. This is brilliant!! There are other features you can play around with for the more advanced when recording so for me its a best-buy.
Customer Review: A solid mini digital cam
In a few words ….this is simply a bargain packed with features exceptional quality and small enough to pop in your pocket , unlike the bind of taking other camcorders out with you , I think the family will enjoy using this unlike the larger camcorders that only come out at christmas and holidays etc. Highly recommeded.I got it for an absolute bargain price under ?200!!
Samsung VP-D371W/XEU MiniDV Camcorder With 34 Optical 1200 Digital Zoom 
Mini DV format.
Used Price: ?109.99
Customer Review: Good, basic camera
This is a good, basic camera for the price. The picture quality is not superb, but it is not bad as well. The 34x zoom is powerful and does it’s job well. You will have to buy a firewire cable for it. I made the mistake of buying it from Jessops for ?14. I later realized that one could buy it on Amazon for somewhere around ?5. It is a basic camera. For now the Sony DCR-HC27 is on special for ?124 with Amazon and friends that have bought it say that it is excellent. Sony is a leading Japanese brand while Samsung is a Korean brand and not really at the top of the electronics market. I I had to buy a camcorder again I would go for the Sony.
Customer Review: Low Quality Camcorder
I bought the Camcorder from Amazon because I previously had a Hi8 Samsung camcorder, which died. The functionalities of this DV version is very basic and it is made from cheap plastic. It feels like it is going to break anytime soon. I tried it for 10mins and sent it back and I bought the DCR-HC27 sony dv camcorder from Amazon which is excellent. You get what you pay for, u decide. And it did not come with firewire cable or editing software
