Hi guys, I am currently looking to buy one for my father. The problem is that I never had one so I don't know what features to look for. So I need some guidance. If you had to ask me about the usage, my answer would be that he will use it to capture family vids nothing major.

Thanks guys. Looking forward for your replies.

I don't know a particular model to recommend, but if you list your price range that will be fine. Also what recording medium your father would prefer? Tape/SD card/DVD/Hard Disk based.

As a general tip, pay very good attention to optical zoom, it's much important than digital zoom, since it does not affect picture quality.
