Re: Suggested Cameras for 2010 Chairman's Award Video Requirement
Possibly the best camera for shooting:

1) under $ 1,000
2) HD
3) 16:9
4) external microphone capable !!!!!!!
5) flash memory, no disc, no tape

would be the Canon HF20 - about $900 everywhere. ( not the HF200 )

External microphone in the under $ 1,00 class of camera is almost exclusive to Canon. Plus it doesn't hurt that it is a great camera.

If your budget is unlimited go for the Panasonic AG-HMC150, about $ 5,000 with accessories. That gets you broadcast grade HD with a tapeless workflow straight into an NLE.
