HD Camcorder for under £300?

Simple question.
I want a camcorder that will film High def for my family holiday.
mainly a small point and shoot, nothing too fancy.
Looking for under £300 and I am not too bothered about if its the latest model.
I assume it would have to be a memory card model but open to any suggestions

Cheers guys.

Chris

I think your options are limited to the Flip HD or The Sony webbie, both are around £200.

Sanyo Xacti HD1000 would be a good choice -- but where can you actually buy it now?
