What is the best MINI-DV camcorder that costs less than $400?

I really want to get a mini-dv (no other formats) camcorder because I will be going to Paris this summer. I want to get one that costs under $400. It would be nice if it could have at least 30x OPTICAL zoom and a high quality lense. Image stabilization (and other features which stabilize the image and make it clearer) are also musts. What recommendations do you have?
