Hi. I am wanting a video camera with excellent zoom. I have just bought sony movie studio 12 and wanted to make my own movies and start editing in that. I want a good zoom camera though what is light. I want to be able to use it so I can connect it to my PC using USB too. Prepared to pay up to £300 max.

Thanks for any info..
 
I was thinking of this camera.
