What's a good camera for recording video?

Me and a couples friends decided to make a YouTube channel and are in need of a new camera since all we've used right now is my iphone 6. But we wanted to get an actual digital recording camera. We want one with good quality, something under $500. Preferably Nikon or Canon.

You also need lights, audio like a digital audio recorder, microphones, tripods and video editing software.

Newbie Myth: A expensive, high-tech camera will make up for lack of experience. FALSE.

Do not blow your budget on just the camera. You need other things as well.

Look at the Canon Vixia RF500 - $250. 64 gig SD card: $50.

Zoom digital audio recorder: $99.

Movo lavilear microphone: $30

The correct tool for capturing video is a digital camcorder. Here are some of the cheapest decent examples of one.
