I am looking to get an High-definition camcorder finally and it seems like most of them are 1080i. I was hoping to get away from de-interlacing my content so I'd prefer a 1080p model, Are they any from the likes of the typical companies like Panasonic, Canon, etc?

Lets just clear things up. Currys sell HDMI cables at £5, £20 & £120. The build quality, guarantee & bandwidth capability of the cables are what varies. On the whole this has no every day benefit to the consumer other than durability if being attached and removed frequently. The more expensive cables come with a lifetime guarantee including compatibility upgrades, meaning when your £10 cable doesn’t work with 3DTV (as an example) the more expensive ones can be swapped by the manufacturer for a HDMI1.4 that will. You will suffer from some degree of signal loss over long distances so cheaper cables won’t always be up to the job when used for more ambitious installations…and finally when we reach resolutions WAAY beyond what we see today, the poundland cables won’t be able to hack the bandwith.

The choice is yours, but believe me..the sales guy’s pocket’s wont be heavier or lighter depending on your choice of HDMI lead, contrary to popular belief
