Can you suggest a digital (recording) camera for me please?

Cadi

I currently have an Olympus Digital camera, but it's three years old, so it only shoots videos in VGA, which isn't very good quality. I want to record and make craft tutorial videos for YouTube, but I had a bad experience with Kodak (in short, I bought a small HD video camera, and it was crap quality, and the battery life was poor. When I told them that I wanted help with it since it was still under warranty, they refused to help me).

I don't mind if it's a 'normal' point and shoot camera that also records video, once it's in HD. Unfortunately my budget isn't much.
can you please suggest a type of camera that would be good quality footage, and would not break the bank? (Most I can do is $300 US.) Thank you!

I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. Well, the movie feature that you are wondering about, depends on the amount of memory that you have. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.
