Q. I am looking for a camera that I can completely customize to look the way I want it too. Something similar to this http://www.gadgetsee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Samsung-H200-Full-HD-Camcorder-1.jpg
but I want to be able to add a shotgun microphone, wide lenses, ect... So it can look a bit "professional" And my price range for a camera would be $400-450
Thank you in advance

A. I'm afraid you may have to spill over your budget a little. Professional camera's don't come cheap. What I would suggest doing is getting a cheap DSLR, like the Panasonic Lumix G2, then a shoulder rig for it. Shoulder rigs are fully customisable, working of an industry standard 15mm rail, you can slide anything on. The basic set up would be double under handles, shoulder mount, follow focus and matte box. I have put some links in the sources (one of the Lumix G2, and one of a budget shoulder rig, and one for a microphone) that you may wish to look into. You can then buy microphones, spot lights etc that slip into the hotplate on the top of the DSLR. Also, because of the nature of DSLRs, you can buy as many lenses and filters - including wide angle ones - as you can afford. Not only with this result in great quality video, it will also look pro.
Your budget is a little low for this kind of thing; for the complete set up I would probably say around $800. The good news is that all the rigs are customisable, and you can buy the parts separately, which means you can just get the camera body at first, film a few weddings or something and then you'll be able to afford the next item... and so on.
