The best camera for filmaking and documentaries?

VITORFIEL asked:

Hi, I’m planing to buy a camera for independent productions (documentaries & movies), that I’ll be able to use for a while and with a “cinema” look. I rather a low budget camera. So far I’m between PANASONIC AGHVX200 and CANON XL2, but if anyone could recommend me some other or even help with those two, I would appreciate.

    PANASONIC AGHVX200 is the best choice since it has all the specification you need for short film and it is really good under Extreme weather.

    There are many excellent cameras out there right now.

    You may want to rent a few different systems for some of your productions before you invest a lot of money in a camera. Spending from $5,000 and more for a camera hoping it will have the features you want and need for your projects could be diverting money you can use elsewhere.

    Here is a good link for both research and a rental resource.

    And here is a camera you may want to look closer at as you start to get some investors and cash flow.
