Good Professional Camcorder?
Q. Is there any type of new professional camcorder (the ones around the $2,000) that I can get for around $1,000 or less? Such as a Canon, Sony, or Panasonic camera.
It doesn't matter where it's from (eBay, Amazon) or if its used, as long as it works.

A. Define a "professional" camcorder:
Lens diameter larger than 40mm.
Imaging chip (whether CCD or CMOS) around 1/3" or larger.
Manual focus, zoom, audio, aperture, and other controls easy to get to on the OUTSIDE of the camcorder.
Audio inputs use XLR connectors (not a 1/8" - 3.5mm - stereo jack).
Under the "new" category, the only one that meets this criteria is the Sony HVR-A1U. It is the pro-sibling of the consumer HDR-HC1 from a few years back. Its single CMOS and 43mm lens does not do too well under low light conditions. The zoom/focus ring is shared - you can manually zoom or focus but not at the same time.
The next that meet your technical criteria are the Sony HVR-V1U, HVR-Z1U and Canon XHA1. They are all DV/HDV camcorders, well outside your budget and I would be very wary of used gear at the $1,000 level.
The standard definition Panasonic DVX100 also meets the technical spec, will likely be outside your budget and I would be very wary of used gear at the $1,000 level.
That leaves prosumer gear. The standard definition Canon GL2 has a 1/8" audio jack that can be upgraded to XLR by using an XLR adapter from juicedLink or BeachTek. Other prosumer gear includes the standard definition DCR-VX2100, (or older VX200 or VX1000). Outside your budget in the high definition environment has the Sony HDR-FX1, HDR-FX1000 or HDR-FX7. The FX1/FX1000 are the consumer sibling to the Z1; the V1U is the consumer sibling to the V1.
Closer to your budget are the consumer Canon HV30 and Sony HDR-HC9. They both have a 1/8" stereo audio-in jack, so adding an XLR adapter is easy. Their manual controls are generally through the camcorder's menu - and the zoom/focus ring is shared - you can manually zoom or focus but not at the same time. Pro grade has separate rings (exception being the A1U/HC1). Both the HV30 and HC9 are the least expensive camcorders with manual audio control, too. They do DV/HDV.
ALL miniDV tape based camcorders require your computer to have a firewire port for importing the video for editing. USB will not work and USB to Firewire converter/adapter/hub/cable things won't work. There are no prosumer or low-end pro camcorders that use built-in hard disc drive, flash memory or DVD media for video capture storage - unless you include the Panasonic DVX100 and the HDX200 P2 card implementations.
