Hey guys, I am not much of a tech guy when it comes to this stuff. Also, I wasn't sure if diff. specs would be better to have for filming card videos. Here are the options I have to pick from, thanks for the input guys!!:

edit (fixed link): http://www.ebay.com/itm/DXG-DXG5F0VKHD-ProGear-1080p-HD-Camcorder-BLK-DXG-5F0VK-HD-/120803020813?_trksid=p5197.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DRPSI%252BSIC.NPJS%26itu%3DUCP%252BUA%252BMAGEXP%252BI%26otn%3D12%26pmod%3D330627955278%26po%3DLPV%252BLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4324210334289732798

P.S. These are just 2 options...If there is a better option for $200 or less please let me know because, like I said I am not much of a tech guy! ;) Thanks again guys!!!

I couldn't load the links.

In general, get something with decent resolution.  If possible, get a separate mike for it and avoid recording in noisy environments - I wasted a whole day shooting in a busy shopping mall food court/echo chamber.

Have you checked out CNET or G4TV?  They often do reviews of videocams and other electronics.  An opinion from one guy is one thing, but actual testing by people who know what they're doing is something else.
