that looks pretty decent.. I have a canon Z80 and love it..  I guess they dont make the z80/85 line any more.. but that might be another manufacture to look into.

Hey Nos! Nice to see you again!

I don't know a whole lot about camcorders anymore - I sold them a few years back but they have changed so much I can't tell you a lot about features.

I can tell you that normally Samsung products are outstanding for price, quality and features. You really can't go wrong with that brand in a tv, vcr, dvd or cam.

Hopefully someone else has more knowledge about features now Smile

Good luck.

Roco have you tried Ritek's 1 GB card?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820183156

I have one in my camera, it is great. So much memory I have been going non stop for a year. When mom comes up I will edit  it then. Tons of room. And fast transfer, and lifetime warranty. High reviews also, even from me.  thumbsup
Now I paid more but that appears similar to the one I have. It is great. Tons better than Sandisk. Sandisk sucks and is too expensive. Sandisk reminds me of what one would look like if it were made by Norton.  Wink

Or just browse for yourself. They are sort of like Samsung on their products.

I like your prices , same in UK but they forget to dived by 1.8  $ -£
as JUST uk said they swap the $ for £ and leave it at that  Evil or Very Mad
I am happy enough with 256Mb flash card , +90 pics at max res.
I sold the pro roll film camera , and went digital , for ease of use and proccesing ,
and I am glad I did , so easy to use and compact ,

OK, I just thought I would pass it on. I guess with 2 daughters I do take more photography than you would being single.  Very Happy And then I have to store it during the year,(no better place to store it out of harms way from the wife and kids). So yeah, I guess you have plenty.
