You need to look at your needs.
-If your dealing with tape, you need a capture deck. If its HD footage, you need a capture deck capable of dealing with HD.
-Do you need to shoot HD? It takes up alot more storage space on a hard drive.
Can you deal with Interlaced footage, or do you need it to be progressive? Make sure the camera can shoot at the level you need.
You have to factor all these things and then see how much you have left for a camera. That will thin out the list pretty quick.
Also, remember that even with an awesome camera, if your lighting sucks, the footage will still suck. When your shoot HD, any little lighting problems you have are going to show up BIG TIME. make sure you factor in for a lighting kit. Or make your own lights.
