A couple of years ago I bought a Canon ZR90. It is small, about $500,
uses tapes OR SD cards. It has enough features to meet my needs and
not so many as to keep me confused. The SD cards have come down in
price enough to make me consider them instead of tape!

I tend to take my cameras wherever I go and about half of them expire
to accident, theft or loss.

I got an older Sony just before everybody downsized a few years ago. The downsized models didn't
have full A/V inputs and outputs, so I'm still satisfied. The model I have also has great
sound. It doesn't overload like many. I have recorded bands and jet dragsters. Well the
jet does start to overload somewhat. One thing I hate about mine is when there
is a memory stick in there, I sometimes put it into Stick opperation, then
I soon got a memory full warning, thinking I was going to tape. Through the Sony, I converted
a bunch of VHS video tapes to computer, video in/ firewire out, edited and made CD's.
