Sanyo Xacti VPC-CA9 CAN BE A GOOD CHOICE

I'd go for a camera with SD card storage in stead of tapes or harddisks. The less moving parts, the better. That's my opinion. And you can get yourself a few cards and even buy additional once at your destination when you run out of storage. When a hard disk is full, it's full.

I managed to get a Sony HDR-TG3E from my local Comet for £270 (TG3E has been superseded).

It makes a great travel camcorder fitting easily into most pockets.
