wots the best for recording matches - capturing goals etc and producin watchable dvd footage???
Is it a DVD Camcorder or just a mini DV you are looking for?
Can't comment on the DVD recorders but JVC have great value in their GRD 23 at around 400 yo yo's .
Not a bad little camera at the price as it was retailing for 700 yoyo's earlier this year.
i know nothing about either - just lookin from any advice from ppl who've bought them and are happy with their choice
the best quality and robust machine out there is a sony dv, but if you going to record footballl get a tripod to steady the picture.
the quality is good, what is your budget, a proper dv is about €2,500.
sub 1000
very sub.....

but you will get one for bout 650 and that will be fairly good.
i'd go for a dcr hv-18,20 or 40 all good buys in my book and can't see dv disappearing too quick so it will last a while.
cheers for the info

yeah they take standard dv tapes, the dvd camcorders i don't know bout , the region setting i mean.
Maybe try and get a top of the range camera for the €1000 and you can add on lens, batteries etc. later on.
Basically ... if you want a camera that will take good footage of foot.ie games, you'll need to do that. There is no way around it.
If you want to take clips of goals etc. ... bear in mind that it is all action shots, so you'll need faster shutter speed etc.
Visit this website to find out a bit more ... look at reviews, and tech stuff ... might be handy.

you will need to use an iso setting of 1600 ( more important than shutter speed ) as under lights at night u need to let in as much light as possible into the camera to produce a focused image.
oh and use manual setting and not sports as this will allow you to change iso setting and shutter speed to get the shots you want......there endith the lesson
after extensive research - im goin for the hcr dv 40 sony! - gettin the brother to buy it in england as theres massive price differences between here and there - (dont trust buying online from the states - too complicated with add on charges - waitin on Peadars report back on that!)
chhers for the info elwood
