I have a Canon ZR500 that i bought during the holidays at best buy for 199.99 it's pretty good too. It's a mini DV by the way.

PANASONIC VDR-D220

that will be my next one. you can pick them up on ebay for less than 200 and it records to mini dvd. i had a sony for a while but finally had to give it back to my mom. that would have been a nice $700 gift.
