Hiya,

I just got a Sony SR70 - I had the same criteria. 60Gb HDD and 1080P resolution.

It's absolutely awesome, I got it off eBay - £260.

I'll be putting some footage of my daughters first Gig on youtube soon, I'll post the link to let you see how good it is.

my mun is off to miami next week so i was thinking it may be a good thing to ask her to buy it in the usa shes going on a cruise.but would need a to know will it work in the uk and will she need to pay tax if she bins the box ect..what model to buy ect...

sony stuff is pretty good at working on 110-240v. ask her to look on the lable of the power supply. if it says 110-240v on it, it will only need a new plug to work here

I've got a Sanyo HD1010 solid state camcorder for sale at the moment (only been used for about an hour).

It records onto SD cards, and can do 1080p and lower resolutions no problems. I bought it to compare with my Sony camcorder, and although the footage it takes is every bit as good as the Sony, SWMBO didn't like it, so it has to go!

Give me a shout if you are interested. I'm after around £325 for it (including a padded bag type carry case).

Cheers
Andy
