Looking to buy a Sony Hard Disc Camcorder for a low budget documentary?

Question

I am looking to buy a Sony Camcorder for a documentary which i am currently planning to do.

It can be HD or normal, but i am not willing to spent no more than £400.

It has to be Sony and it has to record audio aswell (interviews, nature sounds etc).

Hard drive 40GB, 60Gb or more (not an issue)

Thanks a lot

Tony

Answer 1

You're restricting your options by insisting on Sony and hard drive - any particular reasons?

Answer 2

One of the most affordable is the Sony 30GB Handycam Hard Disk Drive Camcorder - DCRSR45. It's around $450-$500 US. But of course it is only 30 GB. The Sony 40GB Handycam Hard Disk Drive Camcorder - DCRSR65 is more in the neighborhood of $550 (US)
