Need recommendations on a good camcorder anyone have some ideas?

[ZX10R]

My wife and I had our first child 4 months ago and he is growing like a weed. Everyone keeps telling use we need to get a camcorder to capture some of lifes moments. But I am not really sure what is a good one to get. Can you guys give me some ideas not looking for 3D just something maybe in the $100-$300 range that is small easy to use and high mega pixels.

Thanks Pat,

I know I am still waiting for that day he is walking and we can get outside and play. At this age he is fun but for someone like me who likes to get outdoors and do things I am pretty bored and going nuts just sitting around with him.

Sean, you are a jogger, right? Get one of these strollers used for jogging, bundle him up and go enjoy the outdoors.

I bought one of those a month after we found out we were having a baby ;) can't wait to use it. The only problem I found out with it is he is way to small for the one we bought. I guess I could stuff a bunch of blankets around him to keep him in place. Never thought about the size thing when I bought it.

[Second Hand Pat]

Use the blankets, later you will be glad you bought the larger one.

I am also going to have to find a safe place to use it. I run a lot on back roads which is K for me but pushing a jogging stroller and people driving like idiots don't mix.

You have to like the country living some of my family won't move here because that can't stand not having stores on every corner or the fact you might have to drive 20 minutes to get something. What they don't realize is you have to drive 20 minutes up there also because of all the traffic.
