I want to make some documentary films and would like a nice prosumer camcorder for around $1000-$1500. Something like this maybe. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.expressnightout.com/content/photos/20100913-jenks-450.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.expressnightout.com/content/2010/09/world-jenks-mtv-maino.php&usg=__DNMQ4t0pirK6OjPZ0iiMWpaKk9s=&h=244&w=450&sz=50&hl=en&start=0&sig2=NIWhBtwhOUKCvMl6g23SEA&zoom=0&tbnid=jxCT2w_oC8oZ-M:&tbnh=69&tbnw=127&ei=f-qTTP6wKYL-8Aau-6CNDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dworld%2Bof%2Bjenks%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D945%26bih%3D573%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=473&oei=f-qTTP6wKYL-8Aau-6CNDA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=75&ty=52

Buying a DSLR for filmmaking?
Riley
I"m looking to invest in a DSLR camera for filmmaking. I will be primarily shooting documentary work; however, may use it for the occasional narrative piece as well.
I guess my price range for the DSLR itself would be between $500-$1000. Can you suggest some good DSLRS and also some accessories I need to get with them?
I'm aware that DSLRs need a separate source for audio, what would you suggest for audio recorders as well?
Thanks!
Answer
Ok so many people are giving you answer without any reason as to why they are even selecting that brand. I own a Rebel T3i, and i would not suggest you that camera. Because if you want to make a documentary and you want your focus to be extra awesome and not like just any other documentary, then you don't need a camcorder. But i would only suggest a camcorder in the case if you are trying to go with wildlife. But however my suggestion would be the Canon 60D. Im suggesting a Canon because the canon is built to make videos and film making both. There is a reason why a canon has less features in its photography than nikon. It is because Canon also has work done on making films. Nikon on the other hand can not make the same film as what a canon can make, it is because it has more features in its photography that the company has to keep the camera balance in accordance to the price of the camera.
Now about the 60D, i chose that because that camera has better video making than the T3i. and it is in your range so i would suggest you go with that camera.
