I have been editing for a while, and I have come to realize I love taking pictures for my graphics class and designing images on illistrator. This summer I think I'm going to buy my first real video camera. Right now, I have a lumix g2 and have moderate skills when it comes to taking photography. I want to buy a somewhat nice camera with 2-3 decent lenses. 50mm, fisheye, and a maybe something else. Does anyone have an idea on the cost and can you provide some nice set ups you would reccomend. Sorry that I'm a noob :p

something to keep in mind:
a 'real video camera' isn't going to have interchangeable lenses until you get to the prosumer/professional range.
if interchangeable lenses are important to you, you should look at something like a T2i or GH2.
if you want a normal video camera, something like a panasonic hdc-tm700 might be good

what lenses do you have for the g2?
the panasonic gh2 takes amazing videos, and I believe it was on sale under $600 in the past few days for the body only
