I have no idea what you should use. I will recommended that you use a cam system you're familiar with or at least a cam system that someone you know uses so you can get help resolving issues. that's always been how I operate.
if you know a cam corder has a weakness, why go there? if there are low light issues and you're thinking gee! I'll get a bunch of light.... what happened if you have to leave the studio? what happens when a light blows just before a shoot?
all things to consider, I think any modern camera is going to do the job. I shoot stuff with a small consumer avchd cam as well as the sony Z camcorder, depending on client needs.
btw I wouldn't invest in 4 year old technology.
