JVC - Digital Video Camera
Very light and with lots of functionality. It is particularly handy for people like us who know didley about cameras. Very easy to use and the zoom is fab. We bought a DC battery charger and a small solar panel, like to ones used for maintaining the charge in car batteries, which we will use to keep it charged on the road. We'll give more info on how it performed later, but first impressions are good.
