My Canon ZR 40 (miniDV, ~US$500) has White Balance adjustment. You 
can select  indoor or outdoor, or you can set it using the classic 
white-card method.

It has auto-exposure, but the operator can shift the auto-exposure 
+/- using a thumbwheel to increase or decrease the exposure from the 
automatic level.
