Go to cnet.co.uk, and click on 'Camcorder Reviews', then visit 'Editor's Top Rated' and 'Most Popular Reviews'. Most of the information you need would be on that website.
You can buy a decent digital camcorder for around £300, but if you want something a little more professional, like the Sony HDR-FX1, be prepared to pay around £2000. You may want to go for something in between, like the JVC Everio GZ-MC500 which, as they mention on Cnet, is suitable for amateur film-makers. For a cheap camcorder, Argos is selling camcorders for around £150, such as the Samsung VPD361 Mini DV Camcorder. Don't ever buy second-hand camcorders - there would definitely be something wrong with it; why else would the seller sell it off?
Look out for the newer models of the old model - a newer version would have extra, improved features added to the previous version. Always look for what's best for you and be clear with what aspects are more important to you than others. For me, it's recording time, battery life and visual motion quality; for you it may be visual quality, design and editing software, everything else may be secondary (no camcorder is perfect, there's always a flaw). Go for HD camcorders, the visual quality (graphics) is much better than non-HD camcorders. Also, makes sure you know the definitions to certain technical jargon, such as CCD. Make sure all the accessories and cables are compatible with your computer.
Before purchasing a camcorder, go to electronic shops e.g. Dixons, and try out different camcorders to see which is best for you. If you see something you fancy, then purchase it online as it's much cheaper that way. When you go to the shops, don't act like you've never had a camcorder before and pretend to know your stuff... or you may get conned! Yes, camcorders do work on Vista. After looking through all the possibilites, I'm probably going to buy the Sony Handycam HDR-SR8.
If you're going to make a video for Youtube with your new camcorder, don't shoot videos of yourself, it's just sad and corny.

Where can I buy a Sanyo HD1010 Video Camera / Camcorder in the UK?

I would like to get one that is a full UK retail version, not a 'grey' import or one from a store with UK agents but based in HK.
