Here is a rule of thumb about cameras. You will get what you pay for. No company is going to put out a cheap two grand camera that will compete with its six grand camera. It makes no sense. Personally, I would never buy a thousand dollar camera for business. It will always look cheap. So on the day of the shoot, you get your talent....you get them in make up...you buy the costumes...you pay for the location...and then you shoot it with a crappy camera and from then on, all your work will look crappy. Why bother. If you can't afford a real camera, go out and rent a good one for your shoot. Do that a few times, get good product that will have legs and make you enough money to get a decent camera.
Failing that if you must use a crappy camera...get good lighting and that will probably see you through it. One or the other will sort of kind of work if you know what you are doing. If you don't have a handle on any of the above, go out an hire someone who does and you will be much happier than tossing it all down the toilet on a cheap camera with sound like a tin can.
