What Camera Should we Purchase as a Rookie Team?

[koreamaniac101]

So our rookie team has an entry-level camera (Canon Powershot SX520 HS) for recording Chairman's Footage, but the quality of the video recording is not what we would call professional.

What camera would other teams recommend for a rookie team who is looking to go to the next level in footage?

Also, in certain videos (Like Team 610's 2015 Release Video), we can see that the camera is orbiting a robot/person, with constant speed. Does anyone know how or what these teams use to move the camera fluidly?
