Which Camcorder should I buy?

HI,
I recently have been looking at HD camcorders that record to a HDD. So far I have looked at the Canon HG21 and really like it and its features. What other camcorders should I consider before I buy? I would like camcorders to have an accessory shoe (hot or cold), a 1/8th in microphone input, and at least 12x optical zoom. Thank you for your help.

hi,

you can try canon camcorder Canon MD 245, Canon DC 310, Canon MD 265 or just check out this site: http://www.retailsdirect.com/ProductList.aspx?scname=camcorders&subCatId=173
