If so... how many minutes can you get on a disc and can you re-record onto a disc which has footage already on it ( like with a tape) ?? what is the cost for a fresh disc??? have fun Sony is a fine choice. skydive softly, skydive often, skydive with friends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #3 April 29, 2004 Its a Minidv tape model Jimmy, Looks nice enough I would be curious to see how the smaller CCD (1/6 th of an inch) fared alongside the more traditional 1/3 and 1/4 inch ccd cams. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/sony-dcr-hc20-camcorder-review.htm Review here (relatively favourable), it looks like the interface ports are on the right hand side, which could make side mounting awkward. It does look like reasonably good value for money, and should do the job unless I'm missing something obvious. 25mm front lense thread is a PITA though.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
