I got the Canon GL2, which is one hop from their top offering.  I 
understand the GL2 is used a lot in broadcasting for field reporters, 
and I can see why.  It's very lightweight, unobtrusive, and produces 
gorgeous footage.  Not to mention it is relatively inexpensive compared 
to most broadcast stuff.

Further down their line, they make the Optura series which is a great 
little consumer camera.

Sony cameras are also really well respected by videographers.  I don't 
have any meaningful time behind them, but I do think that Canon has 
greater color reproduction than Sony in general.  The fact that I can 
detect that is significant since I am "color blind" (meaning I see 
colors but have trouble differentiating between several of them).
