Ok, we don't have a lot to spend (>$300) What kind of camera can I get?

You can buy the best cameras in the world for >$300, I don't consider them cheap though. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>For <$300. The JVC Enverios seem really nice, especially with the built in 16GB flash drive. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597975-REG/JVC_GZ_MS130B_Everio_S_GZ_MS130_Flash.html" target="_blank">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597975-REG/JVC_GZ_MS130B_Everio_S_GZ_MS130_Flash.html</a> <BR> <BR>The Canons are great too. I like the FS-11, but it is a little over $300. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/539222-REG/Canon_2685B001_FS_11_Dual_Flash_Memory.html" target="_blank">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/539222-REG/Canon_2685B001_FS_11_Dual_Flash_Memory.html</a>

I ended up getting the Sony HandyCam. I can't wait to try it out!
