$600 is pretty good. The camera I use is a Sony DCR-H90 and is a digital camcorder that records in 16:9. You don't have the resolution but you do have the picture format normally to a widescreen display. I got that about 3 years ago and it is still holding up.

I'd like the idea of HighDef signal but I might hold off until they find some compression for the bandwidth/memory issues you can have with large HighDef video files.
