I second the recommendation for B&H.
So, what features DO you want? HD? If so, 720p? 1080i/p? What kind of media would you prefer?
I recommend maybe looking into
this guy. $180 for a Kodak that records 720p HD to SD cards. Due out in Sept. Depending on how much above $500 you are willing to go, check out
Red One for up to 2540p H-H-HD goodness!
