About $4000 Budget

We are finally looking to upgrade some of our equipment and want to make sure we get something we are happy with. We have filmed things in the past and have spent no more than $500 on the camera. It was suitable for what we were doing at the time, but now we want to get more serious. Our current project will have little to no speaking, but our main theme is comedy. We have about $3000-$4000 to spend just on the camera alone.

We are looking for:

-24p
-HD
-XLR input

We have looked at the DVX100b, the XL-2, GY-HM100U. Any comments regarding these or other suggestions will be very helpful. Thank you.
 
I mean, if you have the money to get an external audio recorder...rock and roll. But it will be a bit more expensive and a bit more time consuming.

XLR to camera is fast and cheap...remember, you can only have two of the three:

* fast
* cheap
* good

You only ever get two, so chose wisely. :)
