I'm new to UW video and I have been searching for a reasonably priced camcorder to start with, I have looked at the Sony HC21 and HC32 but reviews on their low light performance have shifted my focus on to the Canon ZR200 and ZR300. My budget for the camcorder is not anything costing more than $500.
Does anyone have any experience with the above camcorders that could offer some advice.
TIA

No direct experience with those cameras but you should first look at what housings are available for the cameras. The problem with Canon is that not many maufacturers make housings for it. Sony on the other hand has a huge list and many cross 2-3 generations of cameras which help cost. Something else to think about.
Stock housings are available for all of euler_poinsot choices:
