and to stay away from high def for many reasons.
high def videos are not small files and sites like vimeo.com and youtube do not let you upload videos in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
Unless you already have thought about your workflow and have experience in video editing etc. read some reviews and look around you should be able to find a good deal on something under $300
If you do decide to go high def buy from a place with a good return policy etc.
I own a canon Canon VIXIA HF100 and use Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12. sometimes I think I would also like to own a canon fs 100 because it would be very simple to just record and copy to the pc and upload... just like that. maybe I will get luck and the hf100 will get a hack like chdk and be able to record in different codecs, Like how I can now shoot in RAW on my tiny canon sd1000.

I did not see where it had an input jack for an external mic. They all seemed ot have built in mics only
Xacti HD1000 comes with a microphone adapter cable. I believe some of the others might include this cable, or it's extra. You can attach an external microphone to this cable adapter.
