Small, cheap HD camcorder with CCD not CMOS for car mount?
 
Hi there,

I'm looking to buy a small HD camcorder. It will spend most of its life bolted to a car (i.e. it will be vibrated a lot).

I've been advised many times that CMOS camcorders are a poor choice for car mounts because the rolling shutter found on many (all?) CMOS sensors turns images to jelly when vibrated.

So, my question is a simple one: are there such things as HD camcorders which fulfil the following requirements:

1) small (HV20-sized)
2) cheap (<£1000)
3) doesn't have a rolling shutter

Put another way: what I'm looking for is an HV20 with a CCD sensor instead of CMOS!

(Please, I don't wish to start a heated debate about rolling shutters - I just want to know if I'm correct in believing that all the currently available HD prosumer camcorders use CMOS sensors).
