Panasonic NV-GS37 — £250
Solid back-to-basics choice for movie newbies
Guess what? You don’t need a high-definition camcorder, clever hard-disk storage or posh three-chip sensors to shoot good movies. The GS37 employs standard MiniDV tapes and of all the nonHD cameras under review, it took the best footage. And the modest price means you’ll be happier to let your nephew take it to the beach. The simple yet sturdy design and well thought-out controls make it beginner-friendly, and features such as the exceptional 30x optical zoom and optical antishake system mean this Panasonic does not disappoint. As with many low-cost, single-chip camcorders, while the close-ups were crisp, it lost detail on busy landscapes, and although there is a built-in light for extra illumination, footage grew grainy in gloomy conditions. Nevertheless, it’s a steal.

Sounds like an advert JJ! 
lol
It's true though, HD and DVD video camcorders jitter a lot under fast movement, even though it's older technology, go for a MiniDV camcorder, seem to be better tbh. Most of them have firewire (IEEE 1394 or iLink) technology built in, so most have fast connection and easy link up for computers.
Go into a store and play with different types of camcorder. One piece of advice though, try and got for one with higher optical zoom and lowest digital zoom. Digital zoom just magnifies the actual pixels of the image and the image becomes distorted and tbh, just crap.
