I've got a Sony - very pleased with it and had no problems, Go for one with Auto and Manual focus, some only have auto.
Mine uses digital tapes, not DVDs.
When I was after one I bought a decent Camcorder mag, there's always a guide in them telling what to look for, for your intended use. And it will be a proper guide rather than that stuff you get in Argos type catalogues.
