What is a good semi-professional camcorder for under 1500?
It can be used. HD or 3CCD.
New, the closest I can get you are
Canon GL2: Standard Definition, only. MiniDV tape (means your computer must have a firewire port for importing the video - no USB will work).
Sony HDR-FX7: More than you want to spend - but as close as it gets in the high definition world. Does standard definition DV and high definition HDV to miniDV tape.

HD 3CCD Camcorder – Professional Quality, Amateur Price
An HD 3CCD camcorder is the perfect choice for anyone that wants to capture video in stunning clarity and detail. Not all camcorders are created equal and not all videos recorded by amateurs look good on today's massive high definition televisions. The bigger the screen, the easier it is the spot blurry or pixilated images. While many individuals will be perfectly happy with an inexpensive, entry-level camcorder, anyone interested in recording the best video possible should consider stepping up to one of these high quality, high tech devices. Professionals and hard-core hobbyists have come to realize that HD camcorders are the best way to shoot handheld video.
Of course, it is not as simple as merely deciding to purchase an HD 3CCD camcorder. There are a variety of manufacturers producing these types of camcorders which means that there is a plethora of choice on the market. Consumers can decide which features matter most to them and find a camera that delivers exactly what they want. There is also a pretty impressive range of prices being charged for these devices which means that there are sure to be one to fit into just about any budget.
Many consumers focus entirely on the specs of a HD 3CCD camcorder without ever really considering how the device actually feels in your hand. Because these camcorders are available in a variety of different form factors, not all of them feel the same when shooting video. One of the things that people seem to have forgotten since camcorders no longer weigh a ton is that they can become cumbersome to hold after a while. Even a lightweight camera will not get used very often if it does not feel comfortable in the individual's hand. These cameras also come with a variety of different lowlight features to help them shoot stunning video indoors or during the evening.
Another thing to look at when choosing an HD 3CCD camcorder is its zoom capabilities. Virtually every camera features a digital zoom but not all of them come with an optical zoom. Optical zoom is preferable to digital because the video quality does not suffer as a result of zooming in. Some of these camcorders may also be available with certain water, dust, and shock resistance built in. This is a valuable feature for anyone that does a majority of shooting outdoors or in the wild. Thanks to these high-quality devices, even amateurs are able to shoot professional, quality video.
