my brother is heading off to sea in the Navy, and i wanted to get him a video camera. since i havent had one of those since the vhs wear it heavy on your shoulder type things, any recommendations on a camera in the $600 range? thanks. i think he would want to record and put the stuff he records onto dvd for movies and such.

thanks.

When I was in the navy back in the wooden ship days :eek: they had a catalogue from AAFES that we could order stuff from at a considerable savings compared to what you could buy stuff for in the Exchanges in the US. If they still have that or some type of web based equivalent he may want to wait until he is out to sea to order stuff.

AAFES isn't all that cheap anymore. Sadly enough, many times, they are more expensive.
