Not sure if that's good enough but that's what I could find.
EDIT: MiniDV camcorders shoot visibly grainy film. If you want a crisp image then you should buy a digital camcorder.

Looking for the best HD Camcorder under $500?

Ive been looking at many different camcorders but cant find one I want to get. I want HD video and a decent megapixel for pictures. Any additional features would be great. I dont want to spend a penny over $500. Let me know. Thanks.
Well I know I can look on craigslist/ebay. But I was wondering what brand and model of camera would fit my needs.
Answer
HD camcorder, a step backwards in picture quality. Camcorder takes on frame, skips a few frames then takes another. Leave camcorder or software to interpolate the missing frames. Terrible video if any fast action is in the video.
Want the best quality in your videos, forget HDD or DVD or any other kind of storage media, MiniDV tape is the way to go. I have long hair, have challenged a few people with HD camcorder to duplicate a hair toss or two, they reply they cannot do this video as their camcorders cannot shoot it at all. My MiniDV tape camcorder had no problems shooting this.
