Newbie after camcorder advise
I'm living in the UK, and am trying to get hold of an entry level (sub £350) camcorder that can cope with videoing sport, preferably able to cope with it indoors too. It doesn't need to be ridiculously good quality, but having seen a few reviews that complain about the quality of low-light condition video, I'm a little hesitant about committing to a camera if I don't know how well it'll perform.

Someone there may have some examples. 2 Try hiring - but difficult to hire low cost gear. I use a 2 year old Sony TRV22, and in good light (including bright continuous spectrum tungsten halogen) the colour's fine. In dim light it's clearly not as good, but more significant is that the colour temperature makes quite a difference. I'd be surprised if your indoor sport takes place in lighting which any low cost camera can handle with ease. hence 3 Hire lights. A number of 500W builders' lights will improve the colour rendering, you just need permission.
