Ron are you wanting to go standard definition or high definition? Once you see High Def you won't want to go back but that will only benefit you if you have a high def Tv...er....monitor.
I have about a two year old Canon HV30 HDV camera that records high def to DV tape in the MPEG2 format and then two Sony V1U professional cameras of the same format for Wedding & Event videography. I bought the V1's just over a year ago and if I were going to buy today I would probably buy the new Pansonic HMC-150 that records MPEG4 to secure digital cards. That is the prosumer version of the AVCHD format but there are consumer versions just out that are also very good quality and incredibly convenient for editing since you just pop the SD card into your computer's card reader and transfer the files at a high speed rather than having to play a tape back at real speed to transfer to a computer editing system.

I don't think I have anything that is HI DEF, I am hard of hearing at times!
