What’s your budget? An interchangeable lens system boosts the price significantly. Take a look at Canon’s XL-1s (~$ 2,200) or the newer XL-2 (~3,300). They’re quality standard definition MiniDV camcorders with an interchangeable system.

There are many cheaper fixed-lens camcorders that can produce outstanding results with the right accessories and mods. The Canon HV20 and HV30 are popular examples.
