Also... happy for further suggestions. Budget is limited (sort of) and use will be just for simple family movies, nothing fancy so i'm looking for quality / value / ease of use.

Any help greatfully received....

For quality / value / ease of use you should try a point & shoot camera that also shoots HD video. I use Panasonic Lumix TZ7 and now TZ30 and the footage is superb from it. The cameras don't have all the bells & whistles that a regular camcorder will have, but they're easy to use, fit in your pocket, and downloading/editing files from it is easy.

Have to agree with myate, I also have a tz7 and it captures hd video, no probs. Very happy with the quality.
