I've seen product reviews done with cell phones. Just mount on your tripod, light the scene and go.

At that price point, you'll be best served by a camcorder. And you'll probably get better advice on which camcorder if you post in the camcorder forum.

That said, I'd recommend you have a look at the Panasonic V770 so you at least have a starting point for comparisons.

Or as Bob said, since you know cellphones, just use one of those. (e.g. Galaxy S6 or LG G4) (Personally, I'll probably be picking up an LG V10 for "quick and dirty" video shoots.)
