You are asking a very broad question, and focusing on the wrong thing. You may as well ask what kind of guitar should a person purchase if they want to play guitar good, lol. A specific class of equipment may important to achieve a certain calibre of video or photo quality or take advantage of certain codecs for video editing or for clients preferences, but it is more important that you know how to use what you have. And like guitar, that takes practice,
Why do you want to just set the camera on a tripod and leave it alone, lol? You aren't going to get good quality like that or learn much that way. Video and stills are a two step process and every shoot is really two shoots- stills and video- on my sets so that they both come out correctly. I could tell you what kind of HD videocamera, still camera bodies & lenses, what type of professional video lighting and strobe lighting equipment I like to use and what some of the other big sites have their shooters use but you're going to spend a lot of money to get all of that stuff and still not know how to use it.
