Well, I'm not a professional in this field by any means, but if you want JVC and can really go up to $5000 then I'd go with the GY-HMQ10. It's projected to retail at $4995.

For your $3000 ceiling, there's the GYHM150U at around $2495.

Andrew Garcia is a talented young filmaker that I've been following for a while, and he is really sold on the Panasonic GH2.  I believe you can get into one of those at around $1,000 for the basic kit (of course, the additional specialty lenses cost extra).  He also likes to share a lot of info about the equipment and editing software he uses in his projects. 

 

Here is a demo reel that Andrew put together from some recent work, and the trailer to his doccumtary film "Two Hats" which was released earlier this year and has already won a few film fesival awards . . .

Andrew will also be starting a free online "film school" series at the end of this month to encourage young artists,  hosting a weekly video webinar to answer questions on filming, editing and motion graphics.  Below is the e-mail he sent out to followers with some details and contact info if you decide to check it out . . .

As promised, we will be starting up a weekly tutorial show at the end of this month in hopes of inspiring and enabling those of you who are interested in learning more about video production, but we need YOU to help us get the ball rolling! You have questions, we have answers. We want these tutorials to be a help to YOU so let us know what you want!

We will chose one question per week to answer via video tutorial. To have your question answered please send us a video of yourself asking a video production related question which (if it's chosen) will be posted along with Andrew's tutorial answer.
