Well, for quality and forward use you MUST get a DV Camcorder. I've always had Panasonics, and can highly recomend them. http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/photoandvideo/digitalcamcorders/productView.htm?quicklinx=3LVH
Cheers for that but aren`t the DV type a bit on the expensive side, and how much recording time do you get ?
Well, no. You can get DV ones as I showed you in the link for about 300 quid. They record for 90 mins per tape - far longer than the old fashioned 8mm versions. You will find, if you get old technology, your camera will be useless in a year or so.
