If the camcorder needs to be 3CCD and hard disk recording the closest you will get is the Panasonic HDC-SD1. The camcorder actually records to SD cards, but you'll get many of the same benefits of using a camcorder that records to hard drives. At the moment, almost all of the camcorders recording to hard disk use CMOS imaging not CCD.
