Need advice on good HD video camera for POV site

Hi, I would appreciate any input on a good hd video camera that would be suitable to use if you want to do a pov site. I only have experience from the affiliate side of the biz and a little photography as well. I have a canon 60D now so I think this is definitely good enough for pictures, but the question is which camera to use to shoot the scenes?

My budget is around 3, maybe max 4k, for this camera.
Since the site is supposed to be amateur style, but it does not mean the quality itself should be too crappy on the content of course.

I have a friend in the biz that has experience from paysites and contacts with models but she will not be there, only help me with the arrangements and stuff from where she lives. I will probably need an assistant as well.

I thought about these 2 cameras for example:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2011/8/24/sonynexvg20 (not even released yet though but coming very soon and looks smooth)
Or this:

About the lenses, it is very hard to shoot good scenes without wide angle lens but at the same time it can make the girls look not perfect I think..maybe try to go for a camera with a big sensor, the NEX 20 has gotten some hype and good comments about its sensor it seems.

Well any advice is appreciated, thanks.
