What is the best HiDef Digital Flash Memory Camcorder for $400 or less?

I had a Panasonic MiniDV PV-GS36… It was the best!!! Why can’t I find any flash memory camcorders like it? Its been almost 4 years since that model and with the advancements in technology, nothing is here? I have been on camcorderinfo.com, amazon reviews, b&H, best buy reviews every single place… You get half of the people saying FANTASTIC and the other Half saying HORRIBLE… Well which is it?

I simply want a Light for low light situations but also want it to preform just as good as my Canon Powershot a720is digital camera, it takes better 480p’ videos than these 720p video camcorders…. I would like zoom mic, not too necessary though. NO HARD DRIVE, Built in flash is okay! Would like an optical zoom of 25x or higher.. Still images does not have to be phenomenal but would like one. Lens cao would be nice… why are there no websites that allow me to filter based on every little thing, only the majors… I tried the Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1 thinking that would be cool since its waterproof, it sucked!!!! I have read reviews on the Panasonic HDC-TM10 and that is mixed…. Why is it so hard to make a good camera with easy manual controls and quick access for the light to turn on without having 3 prompts!!! Can anyone help? I need one asap!
Thank you… I ended up trying out Sanyo VPC-WH1 before and it stunk so I just bought the Panasonic HDC-TM10, let’s see how this is.
