Hi....I purchased the Sony DCR-SR35E Camcorder only months ago after the Gadget Shows rave review and 'best buy' recommendation!

http://fwd.five.tv/gadgets/audio-video/cameras/camcorders/sony-sr35

It still has close to one year warranty - I am reluctantly selling as I will be travelling for 12 months in december and wont be able to take it.

You'll still find them selling for anywhere above £400+ on Amazon, so the £185 price is a steal me thinks :)

The Main specs are:

* Built-in 30GB HDD
* 800k pixel CCD
* Movie Recording on Memory Stick
* CZ Vario-Tessar (Filter Diameter : 30mm)
* 2.7� WIDE LCD Monitor (123 K)
* One Touch Disc Burn (Button on CAM)
* Dolby Digital 2ch with Link to Zoom
* Touch Panel
* Film Roll Index
* Face Index
* Memory Stick Duo Slot
* USB2.0 (Hi-Speed)

I've also included the other boring info for you to digest below...feel free to email with any Q's you may have. I;ve only used it twice, and had it recording within seconds of opening it...its that easy! anyway, you decide for yourself...cheers
