Camcorder for sun holiday

I am looking to go a cruise at the end of the year and looking to record the whole occasion on a camcorder. I do have a decent point and shoot camera, thought while it has a decent built HD video capability I need something with good hand held stability for walking around, my tiny point and shoot cant do that. I have been doing loads of research but like most things I dont want to shell out loads of cash for something I am going to use for a couple of weeks a year. If cash was not an issue I would get the Panasonic HC X920 which seems to have what I am after but i cant really justify the price tag. Anyone have any recommendations for a sub £300-400 machine?

The problem with any camcorder under £1,000 (HD anyway) is its low light capabilities. To be honest even those only a bit over a grand are still considered home movie only terrain rather than prosumer.
How much low light filming do you want to do?
Are you wanting HD or standard definition?0 -
I doubt I will be doing much low light stuff as it will be mainly during the day, with bright blue skies hopefully. HD would be nice but not essential.0
