I'm looking for a realiable, but inexpensive, digital camcorder.

I've poked around on craigslist, and seems there are many in the $100 to $200 range. It'll be a while before I can afford that, though.

I've got a Polaroid i737 digital camera that has a movie function, but it's really choppy; the sound and picture don't sync up during play back. Sucks.

Are there models that you, my fellow boardmates, would recommend?

For those of you in the SF Bay Area, do any of you know if there are places where such things could be rented? I haven't been able to find any, which doesn't surprise me, really.

well iam  not sure where your from Shades O'Grey  but if you have something like this store. http://www.abcwarehouse.com/

you can get some very good deals . and also too i think you can buy online too. but i can say if you was to go to the store its self . and happen to get a good

sales person . you can do some dealing and maybe get it a little more cheaper  . iknow myself  i goten 3 tv,s and a freezer and a computer from this place

with the warnty,s and  got them at a good price . and they got a very good warnty to boot too

Thanks for the link, Debbie. I'll be sure to check it out.

I checked a couple of places that rent gear, but its all pro stuff, and renting it would cost more than what your looking to spend to buy it.

And that would most certainly defeat the purpose.

Thanks for checking, though.
