ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

Hi all,
can anyone advise me on a low budget camcorder? I need it to shoot footage for a making off that is intended for Youtube.
So the camcorder needs to be able to do HD, and most important needs autofocus while filming- so I can simply walk through the set and do a bit of footage (like actors getting make up, blocking, etc).
Sound will be recorded externally, and interviews will be shot with a DSLR - so this is simply a "second unit making off" camera.
I have seen that Sony has various camcorders in the range of £150 - are those suitable for what I'm trying to do?
Many thanks,
Stephan
