Re: [OT] Camcorder advice

["Steve Clark" <steevc@xxxxxxx>]

We just bought a JVC GVL150 DV camcorder. Under 400 squid! Just got
back from our holiday so I need to get a firewire card and do some
editing. Probably getting the Pinnacle Studio DV. The intention is to
produce SVCD to play on our DVD. I'm trying to get away from video
tapes. In the longer term, DVD writers are getting cheaper.

It's all got very cheap these days :-)
