I have done a few short films on my dinky little $99 Walmart camera and my families $500 Sony camera, but I am ready to move up to something in the 900-2700 dollar range.

I have been looking for the camera that’s right for me for about a month now. I can not seem to decide.

Can anyone recommend some good cameras? I would love it if the camera could achieve a "film look" to it, even if i need to buy special lenses.

Just a heads up: I am not a very technical person when it comes to cameras. I’m doing my best to learn this camera stuff before i attend film school next year.

Here are some examples of cameras I have been looking at. I have no idea if these are right for me or not, they just looked right for the price.

Thanks for any recommendations!

I think you will get better answers if you post this in the Camcorders section. This deals with just cameras.
