Answer 2

Professionals do not use consumer-grade DVD based camcorders. These are what the professionals use:

Basic similar attributes:

Big lens

Big imaging chips

miniDV tape

Audio inputs

Manual audio control

Manual zoom

Manual focus

Manual Iris/exposure

The closest you can get to these attributes are the Canon HV20, HV30, Sony HDR-HC7 and HDR-HC9.

You will also want mics, lighting and a good tripod... and a good case to protect your investment... to start with.
