Camcorders Professional Used

Please suggest me camcorder models
In answer to my last question about choosing a camcorder, “mpcsecondtimes” said but did not provide any models.
“…you may find a used professional camcorder or an older model that is still new on sale for under $1,000. All of the small format HD professional camcorders record to HDV”
My requirements are High Defn support, MiniDV format, budget around $1000-1200.
Can someone please suggest me models on both categories:
1) New non-professional
2) Used professional
With these requirements ?
Thanks,
Another related question is how much is the difference between models like Canon VIXIA HV30 [ I do not know # of CCDs here ? Is there any ?] vs. any other cheap 3CCD pro models [$1249 in bhphotovideo] e.g. Panasonic AG-DVC20 ?
Consumer:
Canon HV20, HV30, Sony HDR-HC7, HDR-HC9
The cheapest “pro” hidef format camcorder – of which I am aware – is the Sony HVR-A1U. I don’t even think used ones are around $1,000.
The next price jump goes to the HDR-FX1, HDR-FX7 (these are actually “Prosumer” cams), but their pro counterparts are the HVR-Z1U and HVR-Z1U, respectively… Then there’s the Sony HVR1000U, which is kind of in a class by itself (I’d take the A1U over it in a minute).
Then jump, again to Canon XHA1 and then the Panasonic HDX200 series…
