What Is the Best Professional Camcorder Under $2000?

Q. I am looking for a new camera to use for making short films. I Want something that can record very high quality. I would like it to have a mic input. And probably the most important, the ability to change between different lenses. I really could not find any cameras that fit what i am looking for. Does anyone know of a good film making camcorder?

A. My definition of "professional camcorder":

Lens diameter 70mm or larger;
Imaging chip array 3CCD or 3CMOS 1/3" or larger;
XLR audio inputs.

Find these and you will also find the camcorder with separate focus and zoom rings on the lens barrel, manual audio control on the outside of the camcorder, and other manual controls thta are easy to reach/use and not buried in a menu.

The reason you cannot find what you are looking for is that it does not exist.

If you drop the interchangeable lens requirement and use a XLR adapter from Beachtek or juicedlink, the closest I can get is the Sony HDR-FX1000 then the Canon XHA1 then the Sony HVR-Z5 then the Panasonic AG-HVX200 (the XHA1, Z5 and HVX200 have built-in XLR audio inputs). These are outside your budget.

If you insist on the interchangeable lenses, then the Red family, Silicon Imaging and Several of the Sony NXCAMs - like the NEXFS100 and NEXFS700... But these are well outside your budget.

And you need to seriously consider recording your audio externally (use the camcorder's audio for synching and mute it with your video editor).

If your definition f "professional camcorder" is different, please let us know what that is and we can make a better recommendation.
