I'll add my 2cents.
1st a few questions.
Do you own an HDTV ? Do you own a powerful computer ? Do your friends and family have HDTV ? Do they live close ?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then get an HD camcorder. You can start with a Canon Ikelite combo for around $1600.
If you answered no to most of these questions, get a SD camcorder and housing either new or used, but don't spend more than $1200 total.
