A. Hello there. Unlike a lot of people who ask questions about camcorders on this site, you appear to actually have a budget that stands up to what you want in a camera. Although $1000 is not great, you could get a nice camera for that.
Choosing a camera is highly based on opinion, and asking a question like this on a website which has such a large number of filmmakers looking at your question means you are probably going to get several answers contradicting each other. The truth of the matter is that the camera really is personal choice, all I can do if offer what I would do with that $1000, and more importantly why.
So first of is the camera. I'd go for a Canon T2i (about $750). The camera is mid range DSLR primarily designed for taking photographs, however it has a second function for filming which a lot of filmmakers and cinematographers are exploiting. The camera itself is the baby brother of the Canon 5D (used a lot to film TV commercials and some TV drama shows). The fact that it is designed for photographs means it has a very large sensor, so the image it produces when you use it for filming has a lot of detail in it. It also has a interchangeable lens mount so you can purchase a nice long lens to suite your need for 50x zoom. The one thing that you will have to get used to is that in this world of cameras, zoom is called focal length, and instead of being labeled __x zoom, it is labeled as a focal range in mm- for example 18-55mm. To get a zoom equivalent to 50x, you'll need to look into buying a lens that reaches about 300mm, so maybe the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom AF. It also has all the other features you listed- easy white balance controls, manual focus and iris and the camera itself goes up to 60fps.
I would personally recommend the Slik brand of Tripods. Very good brand and good customer support as well. I've put a link in the description to a cheap Canon T2i camera case on amazon.com.
Best of luck with your filmmaking, If you need anything pop me an email. Also, feel free to check out some of the filmmaking tutorials on my youtube channel (youtube.com/munnbrice).
