Lots of good suggestions here. I also wanted to mention this website we just finished building with MotionBox, called ShareMyHD.com. It lets you upload, store, share, and even do some basic editing of HD footage online. Very curious to hear what you all think about it. Thanks! -David Jeff,

I bought mine as a factory refurb from B&H for a little over $400 and I love it, Only had it a little over a month now, it has a great community of uses at http://www.hv20.com, Check out some of my stuff on http://www.vimeo.com/offback and look at the HV channel at http://www.vimeo.com/HV20 for a sample of what the camera can do. Good luck with whatever you go with. Phil I use a Canon HV20.

It's not the world's greatest camera, but if you have a tripod ,it's more than adequate. It records in 1080p at 30 frames/sec and 720p at 60 frames per sec. For storage, it uses SD cards.

Currently I am mostly using a Xacti HD1000, which is a nice little camera, but 1) more pricey than you're looking for and 2) puts out a format that doesn't play well with Macs. (I've still got a big Windows desktop that I use for most of my editing.) I've also got a Sony HDR-SR1, which records to a hard drive and is a nice camera, but a bit aged and a little bulky feeling now that I've got the Xacti. Finally, I've got Cali's old Xacti HD1A, which I liked enough that it inspired me to buy the HD1000. So, wow, that was unhelpful, wasn't it? Try this link to Amazon, see what you think: http://tinyurl.com/5tx5fk . I guess the main thing I'd keep in mind (that you may not be thinking about) is file format compatibility with your editing system. There are more subtle shadings of codecs running around out there than I ever would have guessed.

Works great for HD video and 3Megapixel stills w/ flash in a pinch. If you're using for web video, don't hold your breath because video quality won't be that much better. I use a Canon HV-20.
