Are you looking to record your games with the camcorder? It's a lot cheaper to buy cable splitters and just run the cables to the TV and PC from the Wii at the same time. Of course, this assumes the PC is close to the Wii, and has a video card/TV card with composite input.
I personally have a set up like this and it works fine. Three Y splitters (one for each of the RCA jacks on the composite cable), two relatively high quality cables for video (one to TV, one to PC), and the audio cables are just some average RCA cables you'd use on any DVD player or VCR.
Once you have that, there is free software you can find (I personally use Dscaler) to record the input video.

If that's not possible or you'd rather take the camcorder route, I can't say I know much about them. Wiis should only be $250 though. Unless you are buying a bundle with more games, controllers and accessories, you shouldn't pay more than $250.
I'd suggest checking out stores around your area like Target, Wal-Mart, any game stores, and even Sams Club to see if they have any in stock, that way you know you aren't getting ripped off.
Go to a physical store for the wii @ $250-$300. it comes with one wiimote and one nunchuk. if you want an extra set, that'll set you back $65. The game is between $40-$60. A good camcorder will set you back between $200-$600. So, sorry, but your combo can't be done. Get one, and give him money towards the other for a birthday or christmas. And, heads up, I saw a good HD camcorder for $500 at Costco (if you live in canada)
well actually on amazon and bestbuy you can buy much cheaper, with games and all. on amazon its about 300 dollars. smash bros is about 50, I dont know about camcorder though.
