This might help: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/home.htm
$4.95 for a month, but worth it if it helps you sort out the crap ones from the decent ones.

Sony with a Carl Zeiss lens. Best value for money camcorder on the market.

Re: Digital Video Camera
Sony for movies, best for the money...for dslr's, Canon is the best for the money, unless you already have a Nikon slr as you can re-use your old Nikkor glass.

We have a Canon ZR200 but it is not the best in low-light conditions. Other than that it is excellent for the money.

I think it depends on how much you want to spend but I was looking for one a few weeks ago and found this site handy.
