What is the best HD Camcorder for under $500 (£300)?

It does not need to be waterproof. I am thinking along the lines of the Panasonic SD9.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I've got to say that the SONY HDR-UX10 has some great features. It's $600 market price but you can buy it new for around $500 on amazon, and like-new for $434.

BEST DEAL IS AT SAMS CLUB for $270 if you can find any left.
it's 1080i HD, beautiful display, 5.1 channels mic, and records directly to a DVD, if that's something you're into.
Also has a media card for stills and even video!
Cons: like any of those HD camera's its not so hot in low light situations and the battery is so-so when you use the LCD screen a lot (which I always do).
Other than that - best HD camera on the market right now for under 500, in my opinion

You can pick up a Samsung HMX20c on ebay for around 500 on ebay(The MSRP is around 800 but I was able to get one for around 500 in December).

It records in full 1080, has 8 GB of on board memory and a flash card slot and it also lets you record in standard def at 300 frames per second. It's a really cool little camera.

If time is on your side, I would wait for the Sanyo VPC HD-2000. It is the only camcorder with true 1080P and 60FPS. It is a vertical camera with a pistol grip. Street price that I have seen is a bit over $599. However, if you like a horizontal camera, the Sanyo VPC-FH1 is the exact same camera as the HD-2000 and can be found for under $500.
