Hello! Im a Dancer.. I do hip hop (new style)... Yes a girl and im on the look for a good camera for these types of things... Im in the process of starting a project.. A dance film with my crew.. And i wanted to know what are some good cameras that can film and give it that good quality that i want.. For example: YAK Films has some of the sickest clips.. Can i achieve this quality? Any suggestions? Thank you

Low compression video capture and storage. No AVCHD compression. DV/HDV, DVCPro HD, EXF file formats are useful.
Looks like YAK use dSLRs. Since you don't know about them, check the usual suspects from Canon, Nikon and Sony. They can overheat when used for log periods of video capture. It is prudent to have two - Use one while the other cools down. Later, when whomever is using the camera gets good, use them both at the same time - one for a close-up, the other for the wide shot. Use a tripod or other steadying device - don't capture handheld.
You may need a computer upgrade. FAST CPU, 8 gig RAM or more and LOTS of external hard drive space for the video project files. And a decent video editor. Final Cut, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere - there are others.
There is no single best lens. It depends what you need for the sequence being captured.
You will also want:
Cables, lighting, mics (there is no single best mic - Audio Technica and Sennheiser should be on the short list), cases, maybe a camera crane to get things interesting (check Kessler), shock mount, boom pole, monitors... there's lots more, but learning's the fun part...
Clarification: There is no *film* involved with digital video capture. If you want to capture to film, those cameras get expensive and do not record any audio at all, so synching with music has its own special requirements. Panavision, Arri and many others make film cameras. They start at about $100,000 and the lenses cost more.

What's a good video camera for recording singing/dance videos?

What's a good video camera for recording HD singing/dance videos? I sing and dance, but I feel that my iPhone wouldn't really be good enough to do the job. What's a good video camera under $400? Also, what's a good video/movie editing program?
Answer
Hey, I'm a dancer too! You could buy any Canon camera, I currently have Canon T4i BUT that is in the 8-900 range.
You can get a:
-EOC Rebel T3 for under 400.
-Photoshot SX50 HS
-Sony Alpha ILCE-3000
If that doesn't work for you, check more online :)
