Anyone have suggestions for camcorders that would be particularly good for recording facials?

I'm shopping for a new/used camcorder so I can record facials from multiple angles. The one I currently have is an old Sony Hi-8 camera(CCD TRV-72) that I have to run my video thru a converter box to get on my computer. It's an ok if somewhat tedious setup, of course a direct firewire connection would be preferred.

I'm most interested in knowing if there is a camcorder that I could pick up on the used market that has a great reputation for high speed recording capabilities or low light abilities) I've got to limit my budget to under a thousand dollars (preferably more like $500, hence used)

Oh, and if it would make my dick look bigger that would be a nice bonus ;-)


Thanks
