Must record video in 1080p, I'm not looking for any specific megapixel but if it records 1080p then it's probably >8mp and that's fine.
I'd prefer SLR I guess, but I'm open to anything that's under $250. |

Under $250? Don't think you'll get one in 1080p then, unless it's a cheap brand with shit quality. My sony cost $180 - 14MP and 720p video.

Really?
I found the Toshiba Camileo S20 which records 1080p and 5mp stills for about $120...
And I may be ignorant here but, isn't 1080p the same quality anywhere? |

SLR? Under 250? I don't think so. Body only will probably be a little close to that.
You can get a Canon EOS 500D. Records in 720p and 1080p. Although, the videos are a bit sketchy.. I'm sure any camcorder will record a lot better. Unless you record in 720p than the videos are decent. 1080p, not so much.
I'm getting my Nikon D5000 next week!  Pumped.

| Forget SLR then, I guess SLR + 1080p is ridiculous, but anything will do. |

Optics. Do a comparison between 10Mpix HP and 1MPix Canon and Canon beats HP easily because of their superb optics.
Also, when it comes to encoding 1080p, there are different profiles, some faster than others resulting in poor quality. Besides, I bet you can't even spot the difference between 720p and 1080p if scaled properly. So, go for one with better optics and 720p recording.
I bought a Canon Ixus 1x0 IS for my mom and it's great! It was like 150eur or something. |
