What’s a good camcorder?

I want a decent camcorder that isn’t all blurry when you record/watch it. Something around the range of 100-200 dollars? Nothing special I just want it to be good at recording with great quality and being able to put it on a CD or something so I can edit it or watch it. I know nothing of camcorders so does anyone wanna recommend me some? =]
Something with good audio and video quality too.

Have a look at entry level MiniDV camcorders from Canon, Sony, JVC and Panasonic.

The patented CAF system was invented and developed by ewa-marine to allow the lens of a camera to be fixed to the front port of a housing or rain cape. It ensures that the surface of the lens and that of the housings front port are permanently paralell to each other, thus ensureing that there are nor refectionsor other optical disturbances between these two glass surfaces. Due to the CAF system, the front port has the same effect as a clear glass filter would have inevery day photography. The CAF system is composed of an filter-ring and a fixing-ring For video housings we generally supply the appropriate ring for the most popularcamcorders. Due to the enormous range of camcorders and the fact that some manufacturers chose obscure, new filter threads for every new modle, you might have to purchase an additional reduction adapter to fit the CAF system to the filter thread of your camcorder. These reduction adapters are availible from your photo dealer. A tip for users of Panasonic camcorders and their generics: In some cases it would seem, that the camcorder does not hav a filter thread! This is not true. For design reasons the manufacturer has fitted the camcorder with a dummy that is screwd into the tread. Turn and unscrew this lens surround (normally chromed plastic) to gain acess to the filter thread.
