Suggestions for a good digital camcorder

[SandEagle]

Been looking around for one for awhile now. I was going to jump on the HDR-SR11, but it looks like that's been discontinued.

Is the HDR-XR200V worth the price tag or does anyone have a better suggestion for the same price range (< 1000). It has to have a built in hard drive. thanks

I'm partial to Canon camcorders myself, but the HDR-XR200V is pretty slick with slow-motion, 5.1 sound recording, and GPS geotagging.

Two questions:
1. What do you want to do with it?
2. What's your budget?
