...further into a project I am doing for a local charity, they need a Camcorder and stills camera so they can put together some multi-media presentations for their 'clients'

I know nothing about camcorders other than they can get VERY expensive.

Looking to spend about 500 (ish) on a nice Camcorder and stills camera

Anyone suggest anything?

I've always liked Canon and never had a good experience with Sony kit.

Cheers

Nigel

If it's for yourself get what you like.

If it's to be left with the charity then a wee kodak playsport or something is all they will ever need or can operate.

For a one off project, Hireacamera.co.uk or your local media access centre may lend you kit for free.

Where are these places.
If they're buying even a simple and cheap slr would have video.
Sound is more critical than vision for presentations. Crain and wobble is called art. Crap sound is unbearable.
