Answer 1

Any camcorder made since 2007 is guaranteed to work for your needs.  If you do a search, there are actually some camcorders specifically designed for YouTube and small projects.  These cameras are all very economically priced and are usually at $100 or slightly less.  Some are of surprisingly decent quality, and they all come with very simple controls.

Goofing off with your friends usually requires a camera that is lightweight, easy for you and your friends to use, and won't be destroyed if 'dropped' .  Perhaps the http://www.mysmallwonder.com/ cameras are where you might want to start.  The $100-$250 memory card models are probably as high as you want to look; otherwise, you are wasting money for this particular need.

If you don't like any of the memory card models in this price range, you can substitute a hard drive model.  Just don't drop the hard drive cameras!

Good Luck
