$600 Budget

[Slatz]

Ok, so I would like to purchase a camcorder. Most of the reviews here are from March/09.

Would like camcorder to have these options:
Wide angle lens
1080 I or P or both
Excellent HD Video
7 or lower lux
9mp and up

I know the list is short but I know nothing about camcorders so any suggestions would be great. I have done some research and have been told Panasonic has a couple good options with the TM-700 and the HDC-TM55.

thanks in advance.
cheers!

The Canon SX30IS is on sale for $314. It's 720p, not 1080p though. It does have a nice 24mm wide-angle lens (24-840mm). S'more info:

Was going to use it mainly for tutorials on my site. Computer related. How to stuff.
