HD 'professional' Camcorder recommendations?

[Ari]

I'm thinking of getting a decent camcorder. The priorities are:

1080p HD
Decent stereo microphones with wind baffle (or the ability to fit one easily)
Records to memory cards, not tape
Decent battery life (and/or ability to fit higher capacity battery)
A degree of control rather than being fully automatic (manual focus, exposure compensation etc)
Face detection focussing
Reasonably compact
Decent zoom
Easy for anyone to operate on full auto (point and shoot basically)

I've seen this, which seems to tick the boxes:

But I know little about camcorders, what else is worth considering and are there any other 'must haves'? It's mostly for outdoor action type stuff.

I'd appreciate any advice, thanks.
