What’s practical to you? Sony z1 HDV cameras are good, news crews and documentary makers use them because they are high quality but still portable and expensive but not bank bustingly so. Good for independent filmmakers because you can approach good quality video production and do documentary projects and it’s pretty close to affordable.

EDIT: Don’t know about film cameras though if you’re looking for those. They cost alot more unless you want like a super 8 and those are hard to find and probably expensive as well though maybe not too much.
