   HD cameras perform very poorly in low lighting....very poorly. I would only recommend shooting HD at night if you have a good lighting system. Sony cameras have always performed the best in low light situations, but the lighting problem with HD is relatively global. There are no good HD cameras under $1000. I doubt there are bad ones in this price range.
   
   Best Regards,

   Get some lights, light your scene as you wish. If you want it to look like night, use a day-for-night filter.

   Your least expensive option worth considering would be a used Sony FX1, and those are probably still over $2K. With some work in editing you can get usable images from that camera in dim lighting, but it's not what we've been used to with the best DV cameras.
