Q&A: Where can I buy a good (inexpensive) video camera for making movies?

Question by Tyler S: Where can I buy a good (inexpensive) video camera for making movies?
I want a camera that’s under $ 600, has the movie-making necessities such as a mic input and the ability to record HD video. I’m an amateur movie maker and I’m sick of using an old camera that uses DV tapes… Can someone give me a suggestion?

Canon VIXIA HV40 sells for around $ 659.00 at amazon.com.

Yes, it records on miniDV tapes but in HD or SD. Using miniDV tapes is the optimal way of capturing video into a nonlinear video editor.
