im going overseas soon and would like to get a cheap video camera for my daughter

ive narrowed it down to one of these 2

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...._BID_Stores_IT

or

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/12MP-DIGITAL-...QQcmdZViewItem

i can get them both for relatively the same price so that is not an issue, i just want to know which one is better

as you can see the 2nd one has a viewfinder but it only has a 3.1mp image sensor whereas the other one hasnt got a viewfinder but has 5.1mp image sensor

waiting is not an option so all i really want to know is which is better and why

Thanks in advance

I haven't even heard of those brands.. not to mention lack of review or info on them.

Sony is releasing their new models for the year.. If you can find someone that carries the HC 21, 32 or 42. That would be a great choice.. It's one of the most compact mini-dv cameras.. and Because they're coming out with new models, you're likely to get it on clearance. I got my HC42 for less than half of retail.
