Camcorder image quality depends on many factors. The Size/Diameter of lens, LUX (Light Sensitivity) Type, Number and Size of Sensor (1/4, 1/3, 1/6, 1CCD, 3CCD, Cmos..ect) and Scan lines of Resolution (480 to 1080). When looking for a good quality image in an inexpensive camcorder, look at the Sensor size and Scan Lines first. Only larger more expensive camcorders will have 3CCD and Bigger Lenses. There are too many good models under $500 to list here. Start with Sony, Canon, Panasonic and JVC. They all make broadcast video equipment and have been in the pro arena for some time.
