video camera need help

[PeteRoy]

I want to buy a digital video camera to shoot home videos but I have no idea what I am looking for in a video camera or what to buy.

Can anyone suggest something not too expensive or tell me what features should I want in a video camera?

Thank you.

What's your budget? Do you want to do any editing on your computer?

Around 500$

I want to edit on my computer and then maybe burn later the edited videos.
