what is the Best HD Camcorder?

Q. What i want is the Best of the best camcorders in the market today. just camcorders not proffesional video camera.
hd,camcorder. simple as that.

A. Your question does not make sense to me.

A "camcorder" defined:
"A camcorder (video CAMera reCORDER) is an electronic device that combines a video camera and a video recorder into one unit.

In order to differentiate it from other devices that are capable of recording video, like cell phones and compact digital cameras, a camcorder is generally identified as a portable device primarily designed for video capture and recording."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder

If you want the "best of the best" then you want a professional grade camcorder. Barring that, you will not be looking at the "best of the best". The step down from professional-grade would be "prosumer". But lets define professional grade, first... In my opinion, pro grade camcorders:
1) have lenses larger than 60mm diameter - usually 72mm.
2) have imaging chips larger than 1/4" - usually 3-chip array and more typically 1/3". Can be 3-CCD or 3-CMOS.
3) have XLR audio-in connectors.
4) record to DV or HDV or some other low-compression format (not AVCHD/MTS).
Deviate from any one of these and the grade of the camcorder drops to "prosumer".

Depending on your specific requirements, those worth investigating:
Sony HDR-FX7, HDR-FX1000, HVR-HD1000, HVR-A1.
Canon GL2

In the higher-end consumer grade area:
Canon HV40, HF and HF S series.
Sony HDR-CX500 series.

No consumer internal hard disc drives camcorders (knowm problems with vibration and altitude prevents recording video). No consumer DVD based camcorders.


Whats the best hd professional camcorder under £1500?
Q. i'm looking for a professional camcorder that records full hd. This will be used for shooting films and i need the manual focus and the auto focus. Been using a canon 60d but want something a bit better. Been looking at the canon xh a1 but that's got mixed reviews. i don't mind any make as long as it is not a consumer camcorder.

A. A "professional" camcorder will have:

* Lens filter diameter larger than 70mm;
* 3CCD or 3COMS imaging chip array 1/3" or larger;
* XLR audio inputs.

Find these and all the other stuff (separate manual zoom and manual focus rings on the lens barrel, manual audio control and lots of other manual controls easily accessible on the OUTSIDE of the camcorder) and you will have a pro-grade camcorder. Hint: unless you buy used, there is no such thing. New, the closest you can get is a prosumer like the Sony HDR-FX1000 and add a XLR adapter (from BeachTek or juiceLink).
