Camcorders Technology

I’m looking to purchase a semi-pro camcorder any suggestions? Budget around $3000?
I’m looking to shoot mostly interviews and short commercials/films with the camera for the internet. It has to be good quality and be up to date with todays technology. Some camcorders that have been suggested are the Pan. HVX200, Cannon XL H1, and the SonyHDR Z1. Are there any others I should know about or is one of the above sufficient and why? Thanks
I would recommend the Sony DSR-PD170. It has the standard 3 ccd’s and the manual controls you would expect from a professional camcorder. The good thing I like about it is that it has two (2) XLR inputs, with individual recording volume adjustments. It is running in the $2,000 – $2,500 range for a new one. That leaves you with a couple hundred dollars to spend on microphones, and if you want to go over a little on your budget, you can get some good lighting equipment.
