Recommendation for Corporate use?

Heartfelt

Well-known member
I am midstream in a video project, using borrowed HMC40's. I helped the owner purchase these and for a season,
was the sole operator of them. In my current position I cannot borrow them indefinitely and thus, this corporation
needs to make a purchase.

Here is my current experience:
  • First and foremost an audio guy
  • Lots of home based point and shoot experience with great results
  • Non-Profit Ministry conference videoing (with HMC40's and DVX100B) with good to great results
  • Corporate point and shoot experience with great results (more recently)
  • Corporate videography (greenscreen and on location) which I am still very new at but doing well
While still at work in this first, large project, I have been assigned more video projects and photos are ALWAYS
needed. With this in mind, I have been trying to consider a flexible platform to base a package on and with all the buzz
about video on DSLR's, that is my interest. (open to correction)


My project needs include:
  • Greenscreen video
  • Indoor videography of events
  • Indoor/outdoor videography at industrial plants
  • Product photos on infinity background
  • Personnel photos
Present and assumed needs/wants:
  • Solid photo ability
  • Solid video ability
    • Greenscreen (someone suggest DSLR's wouldn't do a good job True/False?)
    • Outdoor with high motion
  • Nice shallow depth of field ability
  • Tethered Videoing (for green screen work)
  • Tethered Photography (for product shoots)
  • Wireless flash (future thinking)
Being a Panasonic guy, I have been looking at the GH2 and reading/watching countless reviews. Locally, a shop tech and
a good friend recommends the the D7000. Alternately, there is the 60D. I know that there are Ford/Chevy/Dodge guys
here and everywhere. My problem is identifying all the features that provide the benefits I am after.

Lastly, if I need to step up one level in quality/ability from these contenders, I can do that.

Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
