We bought this mini-camcorder for our daughter for Christmas...
http://www.target.com/Aiptek-P-HD-Camcorder/dp/B001G70RRW/sr=1-1/qid=1230548077/ref=sr_1_1/183-0280896-4005658?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aaiptek&page=1
We found it at Target for $120 and bought a 4GB flash card for another $25.
The user interface is a little odd at first, but once you figure out what the designers had in mind, it's pretty simple. It takes stills, varying qualities of video, it has night-vision mode, can be used as a voice recorder, and I think it has an MP3 player built in.
We havn't uploaded anything to the PC yet, so I don't know how that will all go down. It comes with a disk/program but I'm gonna let Windows Media and Picasa have first crack at it.
For the price, all seems well so far.

Best value beginner movie camera?
Miles
I'm gonna start making movies soon, mainly cultural documentaries in other countries, and I need a new hd camera, I want something that looks professional, like an xf305, but that's for looks I'm not too worried, performance is my priority, a camera with good focus is good, when I'm not doing documentaries il probably it for skate videos and holiday videos, apart from that I need basics like sd recording because tapes are to much hassle but that's pretty much a modern default anyway so yeah

HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.
Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video
