I am looking to get my first full HD video camera. I have a $500 budget. I've looked at several sites and read reviews. Right now I am looking at getting a Sony Handycam HDR-CX330. It has great reviews at Amazon and it comes with extra battery, memory card, tripod and some other nice things for the same price I have seen lesser cameras for just by themselves.

It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest. I am looking for full HD, a battery that won't die after 10 mins, at least an hour of Full HD recording capacity, decent autofocus, image stabilization, low light or night vision capable, and USB cord to upload to a PC.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
