I'm looking for an HD camcorder that has slow motion (240fps or maybe even more) as well as allowing for optical zoom while recording (not necessarily while recording slow-mo, but at least while recording HD) rather than digital zoom while recording. Preferably under the $500 mark.
I was looking at the Sanyo FH1 and I've very interested in it, but I can't find a place that sells it new where I can return it/etc.
