Camcorder help? External mic?

Q. I am very frustrated: My birthday is coming up (today is april fools 2011, my b'day is 5/30). I want an hd camcorder (i will take movies of EVERYTHING: me drumming, i will bring camcorder to New York Rangers games, me making comedies with friends, my baseball games, my hockey games, EVERYTHING). I want FULL hd (1080p). I need pretty good zoom, and a port for an external mic. My birthday list is as follows:
Olympus camera = 267.99$
Archos 4.3 android mp3 player = 130$
External mic = 22.11$
HD camcorder = ??
TOTAL MUST BE <540$ (540$ or below)
With the things i listed, it all equals 420$, which gives me little spending money for camcorder (but i am unwilling to take away money on the camera, and i already bought the archos, as my ipod broke). It gives me about 120$ for a camcorder. I don't care if it is used, refurbished, etc. I don't care if went through the pits of hell, as long as it is in great condition when i get it. I can't seem to find ANY camcorders <300 with an external microphone port. Well, that makes my job A LOT harder! Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
THE CLOCK IS TICKING ;)
PS: It must have the body of a videocamera: NOT the body of a flip, Kodak zi8, etc. I will NOT accept a rectangular piece of shit (i don't care if the video quality of those little rectangles are great, they have no zoom and no low light performance!). I don't REALLY care about low light performance that much.
THANKS
@Palidin... Thanks! I will most likely get that (i've seen that on amazon, but hesitated because it looks kinda weird :D) If you are a witness of its quality, than who am i to say otherwise? BUT, does it have a place to hitch an external mic on it? I understand that it has the appropriate port for a mic, but can it hold it so the camera man doesn't have to?
thanks for your answers!! I really appreciate it!
ok, one thing i found out about that canon: its not HD. Is there a difference between High Definition and Standard Definition? I mean a difference that makes it worth it for me to save up my money for an HD camcorder rather than the canon Standard Definition camcorder.

A. You would need $3500 in order to buy a HD camcorder that could get any where near the video quality of a $300 MiniDV tape camcorder. A HD camcorder is a disaster as sports videos.

The Canon ZR 930 is a MiniDV tape camcorder with a Mic jack, you can attach a Mic, mixer or music making device to this camera easily. I own a Canon ZR500, ZR800 and a ZR930. I have shot weddings with them, clients loved the Video Quality they got back.


What is the best 2011 digital camcorder for my money? Under $200?
Q. Hi guys, I am looking for a very decent camcorder under $200. However I don't want any cheap flips.
Any suggestions? PS: I would like to take great videos of my family. Thank you.

A. When it comes to video cameras under $200 you do have a tremendous choice. But if I was you I would definitely consider the new Sanyo VPC-GH2 High Definition Camcorder and 14 MP Camera w/12x Optical Zoom. It is a decent camera and has tons more features than a standard Flip. The camera is currently at a $149 price(original price:$229). I got that camera for the birthday of my son and it is awesome.
