I'm a Film student, in the pre-production phase, of creating a micro budget film. I have a range of cameras in mind, however I want to ask any ones advice. The Camera I require must be able to shoot in low lighting conditions, and preferably on DV. I'm looking for something under 1500%26lt;, for example a Sony FX1|||I would say the 7d is the best starter for the independent filmmaker , really good in low light situations , excellent iso and depth of field capabilities , while FX1 and others have fluorite len's they are not overly forgiving if you put other lens on them , the 7d is a cheaper version of the canon 5d mark 2 which is the leader in low light capture devices , 5d is being picked up by many independent filmmakers , and current productions and low budget films , purely for the frame rate full definition and the overall cinematic look (have a look at short film demo's and you will be convinced), additionally the technology in these usually lasts a lot longer than the specific type video camcorders|||Like most people new to this, new, there is nothing that will be good enough. Have a look at the second hand market, there are more available and you can get good deals.

they will have been checked out. probably the cheapest way is looking on Ebay, but there are dangers, you don't know what conditions they have been subjected to, or if they have ever been serviced.
As a note the camera is only part of it, what about lighting, even in low light conditions you may need some light, as video starts to become grainy, even with high quality video cameras. As you probably know the built in mics on cameras are not good so one or two external mics will probably be needed.
Stay away from other formats, they are only good for domestic video and cannot provide the quality for commercial video, (well not in your price range)
