Camcorder - best buy - best to use

[barmy]

I am investigating which camcorder to purchase for my wife this christmas. There are a few key requirements:

Small and easy to carry around a horse yard
Easy to use as she wants to record horse riding - the grooms will need to use it so a very simple point and record would be ideal
Largish in built memory - hard drive or removal which is best
Download to PC must be easy
Price - up to £150 as it is a secondary pressie

I have been reading various reviews for "recommended" ones and they tend to contradict each other so I would apprciate good honest positives from lay users not professional types please.

Thanks alot

A relative of mine bought one of these last week - Hitachi D36FT.

Small, light, easy to use, HD recording, zoom, records to a normal SD card (8gb etc) which can be bought separately for about £15.00
