I think you may be surprised at the price you can get one for as a tryout

Starting at well under £30 new isn't going to break the bank. Good way to start to see if one likes making videos. Just add a SD 90MB/s card

Re: slow zoom

Thank you for that info RS....I will keep it for future use. I am quite time poor at the moment for taking on a new hobby such as this - I have a drone that I haven't been able to take out since I got it at Christmas, so I might try to take some video footage with that when I can. However, I am pleasantly surprised at how cheap these camcorders are, so its definitely going on the list! Thanks

Just thinking of videos of grandchildren running about instead of them just standing there for example. Must be beter surely and with portable storage memory availeable showing others would be more interesting.

I have videos of my granchildren in a pool when we were in Brazil and how nice it is to see how they were back then. Won't show them as it they are family and perverts are everywhere
The trouble with video is that you can't hang it on the wall.
