HDD Camcorders for indoor shooting. Suggestions?

I have been looking at HDD camcorders for a while, and would like opinions on which one to get.I dont want to spend A TON of money, I'm talking under $600. Im a little affraid of some things im hearing, the camera i really liked, Panasonic SDR-H40 HDD 40GB 42x zoom, seems to have some flaws i dont like. It has a max battery time of 50 minutes, and no available spare batteries, no viewfinder, bad indoor/lowlight shooting, with no external or built in light, and poor sofeware for video transfer and editing.

The main purpose that i want this camera is to make videos for youtube, and school projects, mostly indoor shooting, with some outside.

Thank you so much for all your help and opinions!

No camcorder comes with a good battery in the box with the camcorder. Buy an additional, optional, rechargeable battery.

No camcorder comes with good video editing software - they make camcorders - not video editing software. (Sony Vegas for Windows; iMovieHD or FinalCut Express for Macintosh are the low-end recomendations.)

No consumer camcorder does well in lowlight - they have small lenses do not allow lots of light to get to the imaging chips - and the imaging chips are small (bigger is better). These two items - big lenses and big imaging chips are expensive and help make the pro camcorders do well in low light. Your options are: Turn on the lights or use a video light.

JVC Everio GZ-MG335 30GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom

I recommend Sony DCR-SR200 Digital Handycam 40GB HDD Camcorder..A decent deal for it is only $ 470.
