What is the best DV Cam I can get for $600?

[slicksilver]

I have no idea about DV cams and hence the question. A friend of mine wants to purchase one and was asking for recommendations. Since I don't know I thought I'd ask you guys....Is there anything specific you folks would recommend? $600 is the max he can go to and brand does not matter....It should be the best for its price

Thanks
