My family has a Sony DCR-TRV320 Digital-8 camera we got about two years ago. I love it. Since it's not available anymore, I won't go into much detail .. but be sure to check Sonys out in your search. Through the years that my friends and family members have had certain Sonys, they're still proving extremely reliable and work great.
Be sure to check out any returns or refurbs. Ours was returned because the previous guy didn't want so many features. We saved over $300 off its original $1K price!!
