Guys, I really need help. =[
Personally, I want something professional yet easy to handle and inexpensive ($800 range) with a lot of features and things that truly help in filmmaking, but I don't want something that is super-set-up to cater to people who want to make some home video look 'sorta like' a film. I want something that makes a film really look nice on its own natural system/lens merits = great lens, great internal sensors and system, and over-all something that makes a film look like this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kow8OoOCm6Y&feature=related - view in HD ). On that video's specifications, it says it was shot on a Canon but then it also says something about a Nokia, so I'm confused there. I really like whatever this guy used!!!
Overall, the only thing that I've been able to find a lot of info and reception about is the Vixia series for Canon, but the more I see videos on YouTube shot with it, the more I think it makes videos look still 'homemade'. But is this camera truly the best option? (and does it have a plethora of settings that help make a video look better in detailed hands?), or is there something else that would overall give my works a bit softer, artistic look just based on the system's natural tone? It would be pretty cool if there was a camera designed to naturally make the film/video look overall very smooth and well, artistic, even if you were to just pick it up and go... but nothing that over-compensates and ends up making things look fake.
Can't really spend more than $800, and I'd shop on eBay, so feel free to suggest whatever is truly the best! I also want this camera to be one that would make a straight-to-dvd film look very nice and professional, I want a camera that will be able to stick with me through professional film projects and short videos. =D
