Looking to purchase a 3ccd Camcorder. The camera would be used to film real estate video tours. I was a photojournalist for the news for about 10 years, so I know how to bring a bit of creativity when shooting. The technology in video cameras has evolved so much in recent years. I would not need mic inputs as this will only be used for video. 3CCD is a must. I will be mostly shooting in standard def at least to start, but experiment in high def and see how it goes. Most 3CCD camera are high def capable which is great. Video will be uploaded to video sharing sites as well as my website. I am thinking top of the line consumer camcorders should do the trick 500-1000 bucks maybe a bit higher. Needs to be good in artificial light.
Here are a couple a looked at

Answer
they are all good , the Panasonic HDC-SD5 Camcorder is the best one to work with .. but my opinion would be for you to spend a bit more and get a canon t2i or t3i rebel , and use the video from this , they have far superior depth of field , and quality , and being an ex photojourno you have all the skills to make it all look nice , even operate manually .. if it were me I would do that , additionally a quality dslr doesn't go astray for your real estate house photo advertising either

YOu didn't say if your TV was HD or not.
All you need is actually 2 MP for HD
For the best, HD, however you need 1920x1080 pixel matrix otherwise you will be spreading a lesser matrix or have a window box view as with normal TV.
The DRAWBACKS to HD is that it's hard to edit on a computer, expensive to edit and there is no standardization in HD formats yet.
No one, for example, is using HDDVD or BluRay
Mini-DV is probably the most flexible.
The big problem with the JVC Everio is how do you off load it! You have to offload it. If you off load it onto a set top DVD player it will be in 480 line SD resolution of 720x480
If you offload it to your computer it's often difficult and consumes hard drive. Then what do you do with it. Once more you can't burn HD disks!
All you can do is buy external hard drives and save up your material for the day when you can get an HDDVD or Blu Ray burner for your computer at $500 or less. Right now they are closer to $3,000
At least with DVD and Mini-DV tapes you can store them separtely and wait fot he day when maybe it's easier to do things.
Right now you can edit Mini-DV HD on software like Premier Pro, Studio 10, Vegas +DVD and Avid Pro but you still can't burn to anything.
You can put it on a Fresh Mini-DV tape in final edited form.
Also for editing yo need a REALLY FAST computer. A workhorse running Visa Media or XP Pro.
