I also want a fisheye.
(no dumb go pro cameras)
Answer
I have a Canon ZR800 that shoots in fisheye mode. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You need a firewire (IEEE1394) card for the computer and a firewire cable to be able to transfer video to your computer
Consumer level HD camcorders have 3 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes - all times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event i have aver been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 second or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.

What is the top rated camcorder in the 500-700 dollar range?
Technical
The top camcorder with the highest ratings, highest resolution, etc...
Nothing cheaper than 500 i want something decent.
I'm thinking about getting the Canon VIXIA HF200 when it comes out, since the 100 did so well.
