Camera and recording question?

This is probably an age old question by now, but I don't feel like searching for hours.

Here's the situation:

I want a camera that takes good HD video and good stills as well.

I'm not looking for anything 'professional' grade necessarily, just something a little more high end for an intermediate level - if that makes sense.

The only thing I have in mind is a Nikon Coolpix that has 16 MP and shoots HD video as well. $170. Seemed decent enough.

Thoughts and suggestions please! (I'm willing to go tops around $300 range)

If it matters, the video feature is because I intend to take video of me playing guitar covers and the such. Thanks in advance. Easy points.

    Don't worry about megapixels when camera shopping. More megapixels does not = better image quality. Check out the Coolpix P7000 ($230 on amazon)
