Anyone get a Sony Handycam or Camcorder Mini from FTP store?

Hey just curious if anyone has spent their FTP points on either the "Sony Camcorder Mini" model SMV-DCRHC38 or the "Sony Handycam" model DCR-DVD108 ?

Any thoughts on these? I'm a camcorder novice so I don't need anything too fancy, just something that gets the job done. I read some reviews that seemed fairly positive on the Handycam.

Thoughts?

I would but I have to use a transformer to use the camera as FT has no provider of electronic merchandise outside North America.
A situation I hope soon will change or I will be posting heavily about it in the European poker forums.

Personally I've had issues with camcorders that use an actual DVD compared to ones that have hard drives. For example I record all the soccer games my team plays and if Im' running a bit or walking fast, it does skip (not necessarily this unit though, but others that use a DVD to record onto).
