I been approved for up to 3000 USA dollars for a video camera, what to get

[JohnTrack]

My organization has approve up to 3000 USA dollars for a video camera, I am really usure on what camera to get, I hope to get the best for the money, but i have no idea where to start. I have check download.com reviews but without working knoweldge of view is hard for me to judge

we plan to make videos like this, to be displayed online, youtube, our own site, we want our video to be of high quality definition wise.

this clip is a sample of the situations that we will be shooting

( the jumping around of this video is quite bizzard, jumpy, bad, but it reflects the shooting situations that we will encounter)

we will be traveling around with that camera, sometimes at a dance studio, but quite often in clubs just filming people dancing

every so often we will have something like this, not at that scale but some shows in big venues, theathers, "broadway" type of setting

I very much ask for your help, as I hope be able to get a camera that is good for our company who has finally decided to give us budget for it.

some what portable is important as we will travel with it

thank you

This is a great and inexpensive camera

For low indoor light you need a large sensor and large lens. The FX7 fits this requirement.

But... all the video you showed relied on additional lighting so budget for that too.

I know absolutely nothing about this topic but the Canon Vixia HFS10 is astounding HD quality .... for about $1700

What the hell are you talking about? He specified a budget, and I recommended a great camera. It even allows some wiggle room for accessories.

No need to call my suggestion into question, especially when you're suggesting an even cheaper camera.
