I don't care if it's a couple years old, It doesn't have to be the latest greatest, i'll gladly buy one off eBAY, as long as I can record at least an hour and be able to upload video to YouTube, etc. I'm just not down with paying 600-900 for something as trivial as a camcorder.

If you want to upload videos, get a miniDV cam, they will save you tons of hassle later. You might be able to get something like a pv-gs39, or pv-gs150 or maybe even canon elura 100 off of ebay for around that price. Just look around. I got a canon gl2 for $1200 less than the MSRP on ebay, so you might be able to find a $400 camera for around $200 or lower. Now although I spent $1500 on a camera, I still agree with you about thinking its dumb to pay $600-900 for a camcorder. Well, consumer camcorders that will only last for a year or two, that is. But that doesnt mean all of them are just passing trends, the pv-gs150 has been around for a couple years (or longer I think), and pv-gs39 has been around for while as well. So look on ebay, and at least one of them should be around, if not lower than, $150. Hope this helps!

Right now on eBay Anna Electronics is selling Canon Optura 50 camcorders at auction. Six months ago, this camcorder was selling for $899. I purchased one Christmas Week and I have been using it for about a week. I am quite happy with it. These camcorders have been selling for $140 to $160 the last few days.

Try the Circuit City or Best Buy websites, sometimes you can find a really good deal on one. But you can also find really good deals on Ebay as you said. I'm with you on that too..i just wont pay some rediculous price for technology when you know the price on this type of equipment will drop in a few years.
