Digi-cam advice please lads

[AK]

Ok, I'm not into these sort of things at all, but I need advice on the possible purchase of one.

Firstly, what make should I go for (mainly for doing trackdays & racing)
Where from? (shop please)
and how much are these things?
I have progressed to working the DVD player so far...........

C, wanting to shop in her lunch hour tomorrow, if these damn things aint too expensive:o

If you are thinking of ever using it for "on-bike" footage with a bullet cam, you need to make sure it has an "AV-In" facility, and not many do. Other than that, I know **** all about it, but I'm sure that someone who does will be along shortly :)

Anyone else got info for me?????

HELP!

I have a Sony 340, that works really well on bike with a bullet cam, bought it a coupe of years ago now, but really impressed.

Points to remember, your camcorder must have AV in also DV out so that you can connect to a DVD recorder that has DV in (i-link) so that you can transfer you tapes direct to DVD, any other questions just drop me a line & I will do my best to answer them.

Just make sure its got AV in and that its physically small enough to be carried on the bike in question.
