I started at http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/ then clicked on many of the searches and then looked at MANUAL CONTROLS.
Sorry but there are TOO MANY FOR ME TO LIST HERE.
Hope this helps,

I'm looking to purchase a manual focus digital video camera. Originally I was looking at Canon in the hopes I could use my DSLR lenses on the video camera as well, but I was told that would mean getting the top of the line professional video camera - which is outside my budget.
Does anyone have recommendations, warnings, favorites for an under $500 digital video camera that allows for manual focus - preferably on the lens itself - not through a touchscreen option.
Thanks in advance, I've been searching for hours but feel like I'm getting nowhere.
