Hi there. I'm in need of a camera/camcorder for mostly video, but a little bit of photography. The two choices I have come up with are: Kodak Playtouch. This is £60 on Amazon, and has a good review by Austin Evans. It has a mic input. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003U3Z8MO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_45BNub07VKDC3

The other choice is the Sony DSC-WX80. This is what Barnacules uses for blogs, but has no mic input. On Amazon for £46. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AW8JQIC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_M7BNub1JAXY4G. Which do you think I should go for? Thanks.

I'd go for the sony, I doubt you can mount the kodak on a tripod, whereas you should be able to with the sony, and you will want that for videos.

Should I still go with the Sony? That mic input is tempting me...

yeah, looks like it would be easier to hold and such too.
