1st feature film, low budget HD, mostly exteriors: which camera set up?

We want to shoot on HD, outside (think adventure in the mountains), onto a hard drive, with a powerful G5 back at HQ for dailies/rough edit etc, with the image as 'beautiful' as possible, lots of wide angle lenses, DOF. Maneuverabilty and flexibilty essential, really experimenting with angles and loads of takes.

I'd love to hear any opinion on which cameras might be best suited to the task.

Many thanks

Total Budget Under 500k US..the biggest outlay being on the camera, most other production costs will be neglible in comparison, we're shooting in India. If you were shooting this what would you shoot it on, and if you had to go one cheaper, what would that be.

Thanks
 
He is saying that you don't need to ask your question in more than one spot.

If you want a nice quality image and you have a $500,000 budget rent a Varicam, hire a DP and the rest of your crew.
