I'm another guy whose expecting his first kid in a few weeks, and I want to have a camcorder before that time. The most important factors for me will be quality and phyisical size.

Does anyone who has really done their research on this topic have strong recommendations with respect to hard-drive vs. mini-dvd, high def vs. standard def, etc? Any recommendations on a particular brand? The best shop in town to buy from?

For reference, old thread at:

We were going to get one when our daughter was born but then decided against it. We just got a decent digital camera capable of taking some movies and we find that it is more than enough.

If you are a regular camcorder user already, you'll use it a bunch. If not you may want to make sure you'll use it or if you'd be just a happy with some quick videos of important/funny things kids do and lots of stills.
