Im wanting one what has best zoom and easy to put it on the PC this is also the price range im willing to go up and ive put it to these 3. Im wanting to take good picturesof wiled life like birdsetc. I dont want to go over the top but £249 is the max im willing to pay. Also the £249camcorder is mpeg4 format which i believe is bluray would this be easy to convert into Mp3 for normal?. Thanks for any info.

Without knowing a great deal about Camcorders, i would use the old phrase "You get what you pay for"

Suggesting that the most expensive is the best

My daughter has converted Blu ray to Mp3 before, and i think she used a programme called Winavi

I think they do a free version too

Hi,

A friend of mine has the JVC GZHM445 HD camcorder and at its price, it's a great buy! One of the best features of this camcorder is the manual focus option that helps a lot in low light situations. I am not sure about the other Panasonic models that you have listed, but the price difference is enough for me to recommend the JVC over those two models.

Hope this helped Cheers!
