I don't know if I should post this at the end of Kaido's guide, or in it's own post so I don't derail his guide.
Any 1080p camcorder recommendations at $1500-$3500? Absolute maximum total budget is $5K, and I would like that to include editing software, unipod/tripod, detachable light, a few filters, and a directional mic if possible. Of course under $5K is appreciated.
History with digital camcorders:
I have had a Samsung SD(don't remember the model) that threw errors onto every SD card I ever used, and a junky Sony 720p that adds an orange hugh to everything including our wedding video(was ~$500 in 2008, don't remember model on this off the top of my head either). Now we are looking for something with better build quality, sound, and of course accurate color.
In 2009 there were 30fps 1080p on the market, is 60fps 1080p common/affordable these days? I would like to shoot as close to lossless as possible in this price range. We have plenty of storage, 10TB+ of HD space, 3x 16gb+ SD cards & multiple smaller ones. Playback will be from a home server or blurays that we create for family and friends. Editing software would be format dependent, but I don't really want to spend more than $1500 on software total. Thanks in advance everybody.
