      I bought the Sanyo GH1 about 4 months ago, good wee camera but do update the battery to the 1350mah as the one you get with it is 20 mins top

          just a quick point Paul but I prefer a camera with a view finder to look through,following hard 3d with a screen on a sunny day can be challenging!:)

                    Will do Rob. To be honest, the more I look into it, the more choice there is! lol..

                    This is the one im currently looking at.

                      i just want to point out... if you want to do this properly - DO NOT go for those cheapo HD cams! their sensor is crap and even tho they show as full HD, it will be pixelated as they are stretched.
                      i have a TG3 HD cam... but i dont recommend it as focusing is not so good.
                      stick with canon.
                      also - with sony, you are limited to their memory sticks... which cost a lot of money. my 16gb sony stick broke (got bent in half by accident) and it's an accident that will cost me £50 to replace :(

                        this is mine indoor.. [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGFtfoWWAYc[/URL]
                        and outdoor. note the focus hunting :( [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKHT48YNFtM"]YouTube - ‪Super Cub LP Landing‬‏[/URL]

                        they have the TG7 now
                        i only bought it because of the size that i can easily fit in my pocket - when i get a new one, it will be a canon.

                          Just bought a Sony, but the sales assistant assured me the Sandisk Class 10 would work so bought one of them too.

                          After a few phone calls I went for this one due to all the recommendations.

                          [URL="http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/77167/show.html"]Sony HDR-CX115 HD Memory Card Camcorder - Black - Jessops - Camcorders[/URL]

                          ..but I bought it from Dixons @ £250.

                          It is discontinued, but have been told by a few sales assistants (some who didnt even stock it!) that is THE one to go for in that price range. The newer model is out (previous post), but the £50 isn't really justified.

                          Cheers all...

                            good good! they have definitely gone down in price! mine was £450 when i bought mine! and that was with a significant discount applied! :(
                            definitely post a video from it when you get it!
