there have already been a lot of really good posts about this, try searching. But real quick, if you're not going for quality like a GL2, then dont spend anymore than $500. for the price range, they're pretty much all the same quality-wise. Go to the mall and find one with the features you're looking for, and buy the one that fits the best in your hand.

and you cant film with a camcorder. it's impossible

well not "any" 3ccd camera is good, but i dont think you'll touch one for less than $900. The optura 50 would be a good camera for you.

I think you could get a panasonic gs500/300 for that range, wich is 3ccd, and has very good reviews

accessories aren't anything spectacular, but aren't total crap either. It's a decent deal, but you might find something better if you shop around a little more.
