Is there a camcorder that is just for video?

I have a brand new digital camera, but I am now in need of a video camera. I just want to point and shoot, save film onto a memory card, and download it to the computer. I just don't feel the need to pay extra for a camcorder that also takes still pictures. Any suggestions?

Nowadays, you're probably not going to be able to find one of those that doesn't take still pictures. I would suggest just looking at the quality of the digital videorecorder, and not the still camera. If the still camera is only 3.0 Megapixels, then heck, who cares. You're not going to use it.

ive had two dig camcorders and none have saved to a memory card. both were dvc media and used a firewire port to transfer video to the computer.
