Hi Solenoid,
Glad you like them.
I used a Panasonic HDC-SD1 HD Camcorder.
http://www.trustedreviews.com/camcorders...SD-Camcorder/p1 This has 12x optical zoom,3CCD chips & optical stabilisation & 5.1 sound that doesn't distort no matter what gets thrown at it.
The autofocus on this camera is the best I've ever had.
It also allows you to take stills whilst filming as well.
I was right at the back upstairs.
My video of Death in the afternoon was filmed on the same camera.

Also Astradyne in Brum:-
