i use a TachyonXC (modified so it records sound better)

its a good camera, waterproof too, doesnt have as wide angle of a view as others but seems to be better in other places

I think the one I have is a panasonic but not positive.  But it does have a feature that I think most come with now, its kind of like a stabilizer in the camera so if you are a little shaky while recording it absorbs it.  I don't think it works that great but it does have it.  One thing I do enjoy about the camera is it has a harddrive int he camera that all the video is stored on and you just download it to your computer.  The wife says its easy.  My sister-in-law has one that records directly onto a cd, by the cd's are expensive which is why we did not buy one like that.  I don't remeber how much we paid for it though, I think it was around $300 maybe a little more.
