Request for advice on cameras

Hey everyone!
We're puttingtogether a budget studio.


We have so many camerasto choose from that it’s making it difficult to choose and we're seekingprofessionals help here. We are on a budget so high-end professional equipmentis out. Our camera budget is around or under $800.00.

This is what we need:
True 1080p format.
Mic oncam and/oraudio/mic in.
Abilty to mount ona tripod.
HDMI out.

Note, the camera will beused for a small budget inside studio withmedium to bright lighting.
Thanks for your help!

That's a small budget for a studio.... but perhaps you can explain what you are filming . . if it's on-line sales then web-based video is failrly poor quality and lighting small items (bags/shoes/china) can be done using a "tent" and desklights.

(It's not clear [to me!], if the studio lighting is already available, etc.)
So, I think you neded to define what and how your target audience will view this stuff.

Will you be budgeting for Editing software AND computer?

I'm sorry... It's $800 for just the camera. We will be filming people only (no jewelry or anything like that). At current time we're set w/ everything else.
