A. The only consumer camcorders even close to the price range you specify - of which I am aware - that will increase frame rate (so normal playback is slow) are the Sony camcorders that have the "Smooth Slow Record" feature - but they only burst "Smooth Slow Record".
The HDR-HC9 and HDR-SR5 each will burst for 3 seconds recording at 240fps resulting in a 12 second play-back.
There may be others. Sony makes the only consumer camcorders with this feature.

Which is the better HDD camcorder, the Sony SR82 or SR42?
Q. I'm looking for a camcorder to make amateur films with. I'd like to know if the above-mentioned are decent camcorders, or do I have to expend more money to make better-looking films? My price range falls between $400-600 dollars, and I know that the REALLY good camcorders range in the thousands.
A. I would think that if you are willing to spend $400-$600 you can get a little bit better video quality than the SR42.
Prices of camcorders have been falling. You can find a new SR200 for under $600 nowadays on ebay. I would say either the SR82 or the SR200 would be good choices.
Shop around and you will find yourself a good deal. Just be careful to check out the reputation of any seller or website you buy from. There are some websites that advertise on Google that are total scams. Good thing I looked into them before I bought. You place the order and tell you the price on the website didn't include the battery, lenses, cables, etc. and that there is a 15% restocking fee if you cancel. In the end you end up paying over retail. Try ebay though. At least there you have have the seller's ratings just a click away.
