Thanks to all who responded to this thread. Based on what everyone here
said and what I've found on line, I think I'll go for the Sony
DCR-HC90. It's a mini DV model with a 3.3 megapixel CCED of 1/3 inch
dimension. It also has good low light capability, which is important to
me.

If you have a lot of old Hi-8 cassettes lying around an option would
be the Digital-8, cassettes aren't as expensive as the DV's
as you use Hi-8's except you get less time on it. Not a bad option for
something that gives you up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution.
I've only used sony camcorders, but I recommend them without
reservation.

I need a camcorder. My old Sharp VHS camera doesn't work any more,
and I'm going to have to get some footage of grandchildren. I see
there are DVD cameras and mini DV cameras. Are these state of the
art. Which is better? What brand? Which model? Help!
