Answer
Prosumer? more like 2x more than you want to spend.

My definition of "prosumer" camcorder:
Lens filter diameter: 70mm or larger.
Imaging chip array: 3CCD or 3CMOS 1/3" or larger
Low compression video capture
If it has XLR audio connectors it jumps to pro-grade

The closest I can get you is a prosumer Sony HDR-FX1000. There is no "prosumer" camcorder that can provide good low light behavior in your price range.

If we are locked to your price range, there are a couple of consumer camcorders that have 58mm diameter lenses and single 1/3" imaging chips. Like something from the Canon HF S series. We assume you computer is relatively new and has enough RAM to deal with AVCHD-compressed video.

You will want a mic (wireless) or an external audio recorder (like a Zoom H1, H2 or H4, among others from Olympus, Edirol, Marantz, Tascam, etc... We assume you already have a tripod.

Recommendations for a prosumer CAMCORDER?

Long story short..

I wanna purchase a camera this summer.. I'm looking for 1080 with 24p capabilities. I know the technology's been out for a while.. Is there a reason I shouldn't purchase an older cam, like the Canon XL H1 or the Canon XH A1? As well, how do y'all feel about the recent film making craze with SLR's? Advantages and disadvantages? Basically, any and all info, websites, list of potential cameras, or anything else y'all wanna give me would be MUCH appreciated! i mean, I would appreciate it. Please help. Thank you.



Answer
you show me a dSLR that has SMPTE timecode, genlock, SDI output, XLR mic inputs, headphone audio monitor and maybe it could be compared to a 3 CCD Canon XL H1. go for the H1.
