Help me find a good Camcorder.

Hey, I don't know much about camcorder so I need your help. I am looking for a 1MP or better camcorder like the Sharp VL-AX1U, but I want to hear more recommendations.

What kind of prices have you found for that thing? I see they range all over!

Sheesh $499.99 at Buy.Com. I can't find a decent review of it, though!

Sony DCR-TRV50 Camcorder Review

• "The DCR-TRV50 has the best resolution stills of any camcorder available so far, so if stills are what you're looking for, it's a great choice..."

No matter what, I'd get a 3.5" LCD, which is handy for shooting and playback. I prefer Sony for lower to mid priced camcorders. My next will likely be Digital8 for backward compatability and lower cost tapes, yet video quality identical to MiniDV.

Buy.com is out of Sharp VL-AX1U. Any other camcorder you can recommend?
