Go study some DV review sites and look at a ton of video samples. I made the mistake of buying my Sony camcorder before I looked at sample footage, and I sort of regret that.
Zoom is something the manufacturers like to sell, but the only thing that really matters is the picture / color quality.
Not sure what your price range is, but the Sony HC1 supports 1080i HD and is a real steal. Abes of Maine has it for $1367. That's the camera I'd recommend to anyone in the market.
