What are the best Camcorders under $500, that have internal memory or hard drive

I'm looking for a camcorder that doesn't use Minidv cassettes, but I'm looking for one that has internal memory or hard drive.

Does anyone know what are best cameras and brands for camcorders, like for example i know that for Digital cameras is canon and Nikon,.

But for Camcorders what are the best brands to look for and Best Models under $500|||JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder

i think Sony DCR-SR45 is work!|||Sad but all the CCD of models you have specified doesn't impress me much.
SONY DCR-SR85 / 60GB Hard Drive / 1152H CCD instead of 960H.

Optical Zoom is 25X but for most people, it's more than enough. And image quality will be way better. Report Abuse
