Mike T Star Cheap portable camcorders, brand name or cheaper make? - Mike T Star I am looking for a camcorder that is portable, because I want to find a way to strap it to my waist, then plug a camera into it which I would then strap to my cycle helmet so I can record some cycle journeys. Also I want a camcorder that has a pass through function so I can transfer footage from VCR to my PC through the camcorder. Is it possible to get a good quality camcorder that does all the above for less than £100 (approx $200) or is that asking too much?? I have noticed the price of Mini DV has come down a lot. I want a pretty good picture with good optical zoom too.
Best Answer: i don't know if it is possible but i would definately save up if it's not. brand name and trusted quality cameras and camcorders are way better. i hvae a cheap one and an olympus one and i can DEFINATELY notice the difference in battery time, picture quality etc. - Aleshea
