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

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

What's a really good camcorder for recording YouTube videos?
One that has HD, and zooms in and out. I'm sorry I really don't know much about camcorders :)
Answer
Sony DCR-VX2100 3CCD MiniDV Handycam Camcorder w/12x Optical Zoom is just the right size when it comes to handheld filming. Most of the weight of the camera is towards the front, but is perfectly balanced from the top handle. The camera is also not too long, allowing you to get closer to the subject when using a fisheye and allowing you to manipulate the camera in tight quarters.
