Cheap camcorder with manual mode

acuriousman

My GH2 doesn't have the fast autofocus my old camcorder does.

Strange, because every review said it had incredibly fast AF. :(

Anyhow, I'd like to get a new camcorder. One with really fast autofocus and maybe manual aperture control. Every time I do a close up with my Sony Bloggie, the background gets EXTREMELY overexposed/washed out. Especially if it's a white background.

What would be an upgrade for $500 or less?

None of those have manual aperture control. :(

I use the Vixia HF G10. The G10 has some nice tweaks, and the focus tracking is very helpful.

How about read first, post second? SD90 has manual mode, and you can set aperture as you want.
