The problem we have is that the camcorder must be simple to use, somewhat rugged, and low light capable.
If anyone has a particular model that they recommend, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, David

The suggestion above will probably work for you.
Do not buy a DVD cam, my frustration with them is the fact that you have to wait 4-10 second after hitting the record button for the DVD to get to speed and it actually records.
4 seconds may not sound like a lot but its a lifetime, I missed so many things with my DVD camera because what I wanted to record was over by the time it was ready to record.
I bought some JVC clearance model Mini DV cameras at a local warehouse store, I paid $250 for them, they turn on really fast and record up to an hour on a tape in digital format. If one fell and broke I only paid $250 for it so I was not heartbroken over its loss.
