If you are only needing tinting for kids in the back, then a good alternative is Window Sox. Aussie company makes them and also pretty cheap in comparison to tinting. I think they are around 150-200.
I am looking at buying a good HD camcorder. I have been to some of the outlets here in Dubai and feel that the Sony HDR XR105 is a pretty good piece of kit.
Any one here have any experience with this machine? Or comments of other good options would be greatly appreciated.
