Need help finding an "Affordable" HD camcorder

Jun 23, 2010 8:48PM PDT

So for a while now i have been looking for an HD camera that kinda compare to my video productions class's 3000 dollar hd camera. It doesn't have to be exactly like the HD camera. i would just like to have clear video that isn't fuzzy. it should have an easy interface and simply be portable with an a/v and mic jack, i have narrowed my search to a few cameras i can get at best buy. here is the list of camcorders

as you can tell by these links i like the handy cams better then the flip though i have never used the flip in my life. handy cams feel more sturdy. so can anyone help me out with my decision and possibly add in some advice if weather i should give up on getting a handy cam and get a flip or kodak pocket video camera?
