My friend has a small business and wants to create some promotional videos which could be uploaded to a web site. What’s a reasonably-priced video camera which could be mounted on a tripod to make high quality videos (with good quality audio) at short range (5 to 10 feet) which could then be uploaded to a computer?

My friend does not need a lot of fancy features but if there is any feature which most people find very useful, then he would probably be willing to get it.

TIA.
