What's the newest game in town that you would recommend?

Price is _almost_ no object, I have so many freebie points
available on my Amex that I probably won't have to spend a dime for
most things I've seen.

If you expect to do any editing, you are probably best off with a
tape based camcorder. If this is an HD camcorder, you really need to
dig in to the tradeoffs between tape, Hard Drive, semiconductor, and
DVD. People I know who are into this seem to sneer at the DVD based
recorders.

I completely recommend HiDef now. The current best is Disk but in 6
months to a year that may switch to semiconductor.
