Cheap Camcorder

I'm looking to get a cheap camcorder from Auction, I will probably only use it on my honeymoon and to record my golf swing from time to time.

Can anyone give me some good models that are likely to be cheap, I know nothing about camcorders, I don't want to spend more than a couple of hundred Max, needs to have plenty of storage (either small replaceable tapes or large internal storage) as the wife to be will want to take lots of videos on honeymoon (not that sort

)

Thanks

for ease of use how about a dvd camcorder?
record straight onto 8cm dvd-+r etc. etc. and when finalised you can play them back on your home dvd player or pc.
loads available sub £200 if you look hard enough

I don't think a camcorder will be quick enough to record your golf swing.

Tapes > DVDR IMO. They're more robust.

Save up £500ish and get a Fuji EX-F1 (in a couple of months) for 300fps @ VGA (nearly)

I know this is a little late, but I saw the panasonic nv gs230 being sold for £240 in argos yesterday.
