Keep your eyes open or jump on Panasonic’s website to find out when they are shipping.  This time of year is when a lot of the manufacturers are bringing out new models, so you can usually find a good deal on last years model or find out what your gaining out of the new ones.  I know all of the new Panasonic DVD Recorders have HD Tuners built in which last years do not.  But as far of ease of use, hands down, I would recommend a Panasonic DVD Recorder/VHS Combo.  Now also keep in mind if you already have a VCR you can get a stand alone dvd recorder for a lot cheaper and just hook your VHS up to it.

We have a Panasonic DMR-EH75VS DVD Recorder / VCR Combo with 80GB Hard Drive  You can also read about it at the Panasonic site.

 

We love it because it not only allows you to copy from VHS to DVD, you can copy the VHS to it's internal Hard Drive (Say let the tape run overnight), then you can use the editing features, and remove any sections you don't want (say commercials, or sections at the beginning and end of your recordings), then once you have it all ready, you can burn it to a DVD and it has a auto-finalize feature (so the DVD will play back on other players). 

 

It looks like Amazon isn't selling it anymore (it should be priced at around $500), or maybe a new model is coming out.  Last October we purchased one through Amazon for $430.  I suggest looking for one locally or calling Panasonic.  Circuit City is offering it here...

 

If you can't find one, I would highly suggest looking for a DVD recorder with hard drive and VCR features.

"Use a DVR in the middle such as the Humax Series2 TiVo DVD Recorder"

In general there are few, if any, VHS players that are also DVD recorders.  That said, there are some good hybrid technologies, such as the Humax TiVo DVD recorder.  I recommend this one, because it actually has point-and-click menus for you to record from VHS tape or a video camera to the hard-disk, and then burn DVDs from your recorded shows.

"I have a Sony Video Cassette Recorder/DVD Recorder that does just that and more."

The Sony RDR-VX511 (probably updated by a new unit since) can record from built in TV tuner or line in to DVD or VHS, copy DVD to VHS and VHS to DVD, and play DVD or VHS. 

 

Additionally, you can enter titles for the chapters recorded on the DVD, finalize the DVD so that it can be played on a DVD player or DVD drive on a pc.  It will record DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW DVD's.

 

The unit is very versitile and I've been very pleased with it's operation.

Latest post on this question's discussion board:

While there are many DVD recorders out there that will allow you to do a one to one copy of a VHS I recommend using a video transfer service like StashSpace.Com that can not only transfer your tapes to digital but also allow you to edit. For $6.95 a tape you can transfer your VHS tapes to digital and go online to personalize, add custom titles, combine footage from multiple tapes...
