/u/thelatestandgreat - I recommend you rent a couple of high quality modern camcorders for 3 days for a total of around $200 (plus shipping and optional damage waiver).

If your event is after May 13, you can rent a [Sony X70 for $120 (reserved until May 11th)] (http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=526023&amp;b=82482&amp;m=12808&amp;afftrack=&amp;urllink=www%2Eborrowlenses%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2FSony%2DPXWX70%2D4K%2DReady%2DXDCAM%2DCamcorder) plus a [Sony AX53 for $65 (available May 13th)] (http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=526023&amp;b=82482&amp;m=12808&amp;afftrack=&amp;urllink=www%2Eborrowlenses%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2FSony%2DFDRAX53%2D4K%2DUltra%2DHD%2DCamcorder).

These cameras can record at up to 4K resolution, but you can shoot at 1080p, if that's all the client needs.

Here are a few examples of the image quality these camcorders can produce:

Woops, guess it doesn't. I've been a Panasonic guy for the last 4 years myself so I only use the Canon cinema lineup when a client drops it on me right before shooting!

Actually, with a budget of $5000, I'd actually buy this Sony camera. Can't believe I forgot to mention it!
