Sony seem to make pretty decent cheap Mini-DV cams.
All the Sony use glass carl zeiss lens which are really good. It seems to me alot of the xtras that you pay more are easily recreated when you're editing on a computer and are an unnessary expense.
A Mini-DV cam will prolly get you the best quality for the price than any other format..

But you'll want to use a firewire to transfer the video instead of a USB. You'll get much higher quality.

I don't that will change the quality at all - I think firewire is less likely to drop frames during the capturing stage.
