Anyone know what the cheapest camcorder that has an av to dv pass-through
option for use in the UK - Also is this a sensible route to go ? Any help
appreciated.

Thanks

I have a Sony TRV-DCR530 (used from eBay) , a 2nd generation Digital-8
camcorder about 5 years old. It does pass-through superbly, also plays V8 and
Hi8 through its inbuilt TBC (excellent results) to the FireWire/iLink/IEEE-1394
output.

IIRC, ALL Sony 1st gen Digital 8s did passthrough, most 2nd gen, and the upper
half of 3rd gen (current models, more or less). It was a big selling feature
for Digital-8. You might find a suitable Sony model for a hundred £ or less.

Also all Canon ZR series DV mini-cams from the 60 on up have digital
pass-thru.
