Well, I came across this thread by accident but becuase I was in your shoes a few months ago and have just made a purchase, I'll give you a few pointers...but it comes down to what you want in a CamCorder...
I looked at JVC, Sony and Panasonic. I was looking for a camcorder that DID NOT come with a built in 'printer' or 'digital camera' capabilities...but would be wiling to forgo that for a good price...I was a bit prone to staying with Sony, but only from a 'namebrand' point of view.
I was also looking at the 'digital zoom' and knew I wanted at least 20x and since I'm not a big fan of small ass LCD screens, then I wanted to get at least 3' or 3.5' inches..
My budget was about what yours was so I went ahead and got the Sony DCR-TRV530...
Depending on where you live, I'd say your nearest camera store should carry it!
I'm looking forward to taking this little phucker to mardi gras with me next month..should be a blast...since I only had a digital camera last year!
Hope this helps!
Later,
