I have used a bunch of camcorders. Starting with the old Hi-8 type, then a hard disk-based camcorder for a while from Sony. For the last few years, I’ve been using my Canon 5D Mark II as a camcorder for kids events which has been ok, but I sure do miss the automatic focus and even with a stereo microphone (my Rode which has been so brittle with the mount breaking twice) and a 2x loupe, it has worked decently, but certainly isn’t compact.
