ya, you can pick up an HDR-FX1 pretty cheap these days. or a VX2100, but if he can afford the fx1, go for it.

if your buying online, stick with BHPhoto or amazon basically. Don't buy from shady sites that offer super low prices, they're all scams.

Don't get a GL2. they're awful. VX2100, and DVX are bounds better.

don't get an xl1. it was one of the earliest DV cams ever released, and technology has come soooo far since then.

damnit alex you took what i was going to post! :)
ha but i would say if you can find the fx1 for a price he can afford get that, if not then finding a DVX for that price will be cake....
New panasonics, the 150 and 170, are being released till fall, wait till then because the price SHOULD drop a few hundred dollars.
