I'm looking for a Camera/Camcorder, hopefully in the $400-500 (I can go up to $600-700) range suitable for a range of tasks...
I'd like it to be able to take good photos, as well as shoot 720p video of at least 60FPS. It'll mainly be used for video, so the video has to be high-quality.
It should have optical zoom.
It would be preferable if it had good sound to go with it.
It would be used for things such as:
-Indoor/Outdoor photography
-Filming people doing parkour/gymnastics/martial arts (basically, things with a lot of action)
-Shooting home-made moves/short films
I don't exactly know what direction I'm going. Can anybody suggest a camera (or if there's more than one that might work, some cameras) in my price range that might do what I need it to?
As I said, video is more important, so if it has to be strictly a camcorder or a camcorder that can't take nice pictures, that's fine too as long as it'd suit my other needs.

Camcorders with best video Quality in that price range are MiniDV tape camcorders. To get a HD camcorder that have as good or better Video Quality, would cost you in excess of $3300 to purchase that.
HD camcorders Interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly, the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. HD camcorders interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.

What camcorder would be best for shooting sports and streaming live on the internet?

It would be used for capturing gymnastics. I would prefer not to get a camcorder that records to tape/disk (hard drive or memory card is okay). Any suggestions?
