pkinvest Hi, I am looking to invest in a higher grade consumer camcorder (shoulder mount) and I found a store in my area that offers two cameras for around the same price.
The Sony HVR-HD1000U (HD) – $1650http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProVideoCamco…
and
The Panasonic AGDVC20P (Non-HD) – $1500http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProVideoCamco…
The Panasonic is Non-HD but it has a 3CCD sensor which the Sony doesn’t. My school’s new media course has the Panasonic model. I have used it before and loved it. I always wanted to make HD Videos however, as we have a large HDTV in our house and my mac is powerful enough to handle HD editing.
Just want to hear people’s opinions as to what I should get.

The BEST High Definition camcorder out there is the Sony HDR-SR11.This is a GREAT camcorder for amateurs and pros alike. It’s got a lot of great features but the price isn’t sky high. A few of the coolest things about it are the hard drive and the battery; lots of digital camcorders use memory sticks, while this one’s hard drive is internal, making for ease of use, longer recording times, and no fear of losing your stick somewhere! Plus the batteries are rechargeable so you don’t have to worry about buying tons and tons of them to record every special moment life throws at you! It’s got 12 times optical zoom, HDMI connectivity, and you can even capture still shots WHILE recording! Amazon has a full list of features that you can check out, and a lot of helpful reviews as well. I’d definitely suggest using Amazon, since it’s over $200 cheaper there than at BestBuy or Circuit City.

I know you are looking at one with a shoulder mount so this might not help, but the Canon HV30 is an awesome little HD camera. It is also half the price of the other two cameras you are looking at. It also shoots in 24p cine mode for that nice film look.
