Hello Cheryl, I'm in the amateur category, so my budget has typically been below $400. I ended up with the Sanyo Xacti HD1010, which is the 2nd gen to HD1000, with the newest being HD2000. What's nice about this series is the MPEG4/H264 video format which is native to the Mac as well as video sharing sites like Youtube and Vimeo. I also like the fact that for a camera under $400, it allows for audio line-in and interchangable lenses. This camera just made a lot of sense to me.
