a little, mine (the panasonic pv-gs320) has 25X zoom on it

usually harddrive quality is not so great, maybe go with mini dv- check out the panasonic pv-gs80 that is around your price range i think

no
if you want anything to turn out high quality go with a camera that records on tape and it doesnt matter alll that much all the fancy stuff it can do, cause you can do almost all of that editing, just get one that has really high quality recording
