Is this a good budget video camera?

What is a great, high quality, portable camera and audio system for professional video  ($5000 budget)?

  • This would be a company purchase, we'd probably purchase at least 2 (for multi-angle shots)... We currently hire freelancers to come in and shoot video, but we'd like to develop an in-house system to film the video (and outsource editing). We do interviews with industry experts and resell our video content as a business model, so good video quality and audio quality is key. Our current video budget is in the "10's" of thousands, so being able to shoot in house video would have significant savings.

  • Answer:

    Your budgets are in the 10s of thousands and you're looking for a $5000 camera?
