digital camcorder

[PaulDavid's mom]

I am looking into purchasing a digital camcorder to replace my 8mm one. I have found one I think I will really like. I was wondering if anyone else on these boards has purchased this same one and what you think of it. It is a
7 in 1 Digital Camera Camcorder w/ MP3 VS Sony DSC-MI it has 6.6MP (for still photos) and 640X480 for camcorder recording. Battery will last 3 hours when using the LCD screen before needing to be recharged. The LCS screen is 2". Pictures can be taken in color/ black and white/ and sepia.
TIA,
Kelly

Check out www.cnet.com, they have lots of product reviews on digital camcorders. Also you can try a Google search of:

"Sony DSC-MI" +review

The quote marks & plus sign really help narrow the search.

I would not use the CNET reviews as they aren't very accurate. A 3 CCD camcorder is optimal and the larger the lens the better the image quality (all things being equal).

Try Amazon.com for reviews or epinions.com. I've used them hundreds of times.

I don't know how much you want to pay. But Sears has a store on ebay and they seem to go for around 250 or less. They are last year models but you can look up the brand and check them out. To see if they have what you want.
