Since moving to the land of Fry I've seen much more of the night sky what with far less light pollution, so I'm looking for a decent handheld digicam that's not too expensive but has the ability to pick up the stars without turning into sheer darkness.
Since I've moved up here I've seen 2 meteors streaking across the sky and a shed load of shooting stars ( two of which were about 15mins ago ) not to mention a strange glowing light moving across the sky with no noise whatsoever.
So, anyone have any ideas on a cheap but decent imaging digicam?

Sorry Mike I should've put Digital Video Camera. ( I always referred to DigiCam being video camera in the past, my bad ).
I understand a bit about the whole camera megapixel / DSLR etc from a friend who does digital photography as he has a lot of Professional equipment (I don't claim to fully understand the 'ins and outs' of it, a lot goes right over my head) but thanks for the links. I just need a small handheld videocam as it can get a bit cold up here from time to time.

Does the proper name of Fryland come from the same source as Normandy?

Ah, OK Neil, understood. However, last night I had a thought that might help you. When Stell's parents moved house her mum gave us a Panasonic VHSC video camera (6 years ago). It must be 20 years old (?) now. It was given to her as a B'day present however it was too complicated for her so never got more than 5 mins use!! I used it just to test. Worked fine. It is in as new condition and I have all the stuff it came with including connection to TV. Also has a vhsc converter to VHS, if you remember them. It has the original user manual. All the original stickers are still attached. Basics: 7 hr battery (li -ion) Cables Fast Charger / battery Manual 22 x manual zoom and 300 x digital zoom 0 lux for NIGHTTIME shooting 3" colour screen Remote control Good quality camera bag to contain all Now if you can find a use, all I'd need is the postage to the Republic of Fryland I'd rather let someone get use out of it. Let me know

I take it that camera uses VHS-c tapes correct?

Yes Neil VHS-c. Has 3 tapes and also a power lead that powers the camera by-passing the battery

Glad it arrived safely Neil. I prefer ParcelForce to RoyalMail.
This might be solved?
