I'm looking for a camcorder. My price limit is $1500. I'd like to have the option of HD as well as a firewire port so I can do some editing. The Canon HV30 looks pretty nice, but I don't see anywhere if it has firewire. Anybody have any suggestions?

There's been discussion on this before, HD cams under 1500. Try filtering and see.
I can tell you though, that in that price range, it's not true HD, but HDV, a different codec. I've had several people report loads of trouble with HDV in post production. Naturally, this depends on your use.
Maybe someone in the field can shed more light.

Handycam sr12 is a really good camera - HDD based:

They also do an entry level HDV (HDR - HC9):
