I have a PANASONIC HDC-SD9 and it is a very good camcorder. It is a bit more expansive than what you have listed in your post but reading all the reviews for PANNY, they are pretty top quality cams.
They don't make it anymore (2 years old
) but the model that replaces it is the TMK700 which has 3MOS sensor. I always thought MOS was worst than CCD's so I wouldn't be able to guide you on this one. 3MOS or 3CCD is better than a single capture chip set, that I know.
