First off let me explain what I am looking for:

- wife is a budding photo person and would like a good camera; although something that is not so bulky and more easier to handle (she has something now and with her lens is just too big; she says). So something more resonable to handle (carry etc).

- Id like to be able to take hi-def movies; not sure if I should go for 720p or 1080 but perhaps the 1080 stuff would be nice - we are going on a trip to hawaii soon and have a kid/dog in the works so would like to take movies of them etc ...

- price well depends - cheaper the better. She was showing me some cameras that could take movies and pics but they were around 600 pounds. I was hoping for cheaper like 3-400 ... We can also buy from the U.S. so if they dont make a certain model here then can buy there.

I dont know much about cameras etc but my wife does -
oh will a camera that does movies be just as good as a video recorder that does them? ... I know the camera may be a little more $

what would you suggest? ... thanks
 
What sort of camera does she have at the moment? We really need to know this to get an idea of how big is too big.

And I hope you're referring to a video camera, Video Recorders were what people had before iPlayer & DVDs.
