hope this is in the right section. anyway, i currently have a nikon d40 with the stock lens. i know little about photography, but i have realized that this is not the exact camera i want. can anyone make some recommendations for the best thing i could get in the $350-500 range? im looking for a non-dslr that is fairly portable and high quality HD video. thank you for your help!
dont know if this is the right place for this

I recently bought a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS for $420, and the video quality is amazing. I haven't used it that much for video, so I don't know how good the range of sound quality is, but it's been great so far. It shoots in 720p, but if you want 1080, I'd try the Nikon Coolpix 100 - it's about $400.

I'll second the Powershot recommendation. Canon's point & shoots do a LOT in a pretty small package.
And mrpink, you post a lot of unhelpful, sarcastic responses. We're here to help each other and get better, not score cheapshots. Thanks.

He said he was looking for a non-dslr that is fairly portable. Why would you reccomend anything other than a HD video camera? He said nothing about wanting stills, let alone quaility stills. I think you are being the one who is unhelpful. p!nK

And as far as the "is this the right place", well of course it is. You can even rant about best buy in here. lol
I like the Panasonic Lumix line as well. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100K 14.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)#

Was just browsing the 'for sale' forum and ran across this. Not a bad price. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/buy-sell/246685-canon-s95-camera.html

I have a S95. I would not say the HD video is "high quaility" at all. Decent? Yeah. And that used S95 is a good deal for anyone wanting a nice pocket shooter. p!nK
