Q. I just bought a Panasonic SDR-H60 camcorder and the image is really bad. It's pixelated and soft when I play it on my widescreen tv. In fact it's worse than the VHS camcorders which offer a wet/crisp looking image.
Is there a camcorder in the $500 price range that looks clean and crisp on a flat screen and isn't all soft and pixelated?

A. I suggest Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder.It captures videos at 1920x1080 for true 1080i display.

what kind of affordable camcorder should i use to create a documentary that i can edit on my computer?
Q. i am looking to create a documentary about the metal music scene in illinois and i need to know what kind of camcorder under 500 dollars i should use. what ever kind it is i need to be able to edit the footage on my computer. i would also be willing to rent a much more pro camera but i cant find prices anywhere.
A. First of all, you don't have to use the video card to input the video from your camcorder to your PC. Use a firewire or USB 2.0
As for renting, may or may not work for you. I can't imagine shooting a documentary like this in three days. If those prices IMO, it would be cheaper for you to buy a 3CCD camcorder, it would save you money in the long run and you can get a decent one in the $500 price range.
I might reccomend the Panasonic PVGS300 or PVGS250. The current model, (PVGS300), you might be able to find for under $500 bucks. In what I've read, the 300 does not have a mic input which may be a deterent for you. Also, check and see how it does in low light, if you're going to be filiming concert footage, this may be a concern as well.
Anyway, here's a review of the 300:
