Recommendation for a Personal Camcorder

[Shiraz]

Been searching for a personal camcorder for awhile now and I have managed to narrow down my search very slightly.. Budget should be about $700++ although the cheaper the better!

 

I also want one with an internal hard disk, or some kind of memory. I don't what those that that writes to a DVD.

 

Image stabilization should be respectable, I don't require the best in the market.

 

Full HD is an added bonus but I don't know if I have to burst my budget for that.

 

Respectable battery life of about 6 hours.

 

All salesmen say the same thing that the batt can last 6 hours and image stabilization is very good for WHICHEVER cam I am holding so I'm looking for personal experiences..

No recommendations? Is the budget too low?
