I think Sony DCR-TRV18 Mini DV is for you
Mini DV is the latest digital video cassette standart and it has much better quality comparing to other standards.
The price varies from $539.00 to $799.99 on

Don't expect a super duper camcorder for this price
I got an expensive one DCR-PC115E - the same as DCR-PC120BT but without bluetooth (unless you want to transfer mpegs to your cell phone :D ) and it works excellent, and quality is really good even on my home cinema tv.....
Cheers
