canon hv30 is a good one for sure... i think that's in the upper end of your price range though

That's what I got, I'm upgrading. Its fun, its easy, you can let your friends use it but it is far to simple. You have no controls or adjustment. It is tiny, so it is almost impossible to hold steady when filming unless your leaning against a wall or using a tripod.

You would like it for the first month but then you would want something better.
