Q. Hi,
I'm looking to step up from DSLRs.
I'm going to be shooting in dependant films I don't think I'll be able to pay more than $5000.
Here is what I'm looking for.
- Can film at least 2k (4k is not nessasary)
- Can shoot 60fps, 1080p+ for slow mo
- interchangeable lenses.
- Is compatable with the standard tripods that I own for my DSLRs
- Has an electronic follow focus
- Lenes that won't break the bank (or has a good zoom lens included)
- All round, good quality images
I'm comfortable with canon, but I understand that they may be out of my price range.
Maybe you could tell me about several lenses that are similar to what I am describing? Cheaper and expensive.
I'm still at uni, so my budget is limited.

A. Hi Brian,
The least expensive camera that meets all of your specs is the Sony NEX-FS700, which costs:
$7999 new at Adorama: http://www.adorama.com/SONEXFS700U.html?kbid=66297
or
$7385 used on eBay: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=170995736898&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
This camera is 1080p out of the box, but has a 4K sensor and can record 4K externally.
It shoots incredible 1080/240p slow motion and has tracking autofocus, seen here: http://vimeo.com/40369782
If you are willing to give up autofocus and 1080/60p, you might consider the $2995 2.5K RAW BlackMagic Cinema Camera. It shoots RAW images, ProRes or DNxHD. It is also compatible with your Canon EF lenses.
Here is what this camera can do:

The BMCC is on backorder, but you can order one at Adorama and they won't charge your card until it ships: http://www.adorama.com/VDBMCC.html?kbid=66297
If you are willing to live with 1080p, you can get 1080/60p and electronic autofocus for $1300 with the Panasonic GH3, which looks like a DSLR, but has the features of a camcorder. Its viewfinder continues to work in video mode, it has no clip length recording limits, and produces very little moire compared to Canons. Here is what this camera can do:

The GH3 is on backorder as well, but you can order one at Amazon and they won't charge your card until it ships: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GH3K-Digital-Single-Mirrorless/dp/B009B0WREM?tag=battleforthew-20

Is any HD camcorder as good as any other? What makes the price differentiate?
Q.
A. Besides a camcorder being able to record in HD, that HD maybe of various resolutions. Like 1,280�720 pixels (720p) or 1,920�1,080 pixels (1080i/1080p).even 4K for example. But how the HD video is watched by a viewer will determine if HD resolutions are maintained. For example, if your camcorder records full HD video (1,920�1,080) and you burn your video on a DVD, it will no longer be HD; it will be conformed to 720 � 480 (or less) for DVD play as standard definition. But if your HD was burned on a Blu-ray disk, then it's maintained. As far as price differences, it's all about features, if from a major manufacture, what the cam has on it and how well it's made, like the lens quality, audio control/system, etc., etc. You can pretty much get a good quality HD camcorder in just about any price range. From $120.00 (720p) pocket cams on up into the $1,000's.
