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

HVX or Canon XLH1. There is lots of infomation on all the pluses and minuses of both cameras. Poke around the forums.

BTW, if you really are super low budget, rent the camera. So many low budget filmmakers put most of their money into buying the equipment that collects dust after the shoot.

Collecting dust=wasted money.

Good luck
 
Ff you have that much money ($500k) just for the camera, then try to get a 4:4:4 acquisition package like the Thompson Viper camera of the F950
