Hey CMarion,
Here’s some info that might help:
Camera: look for a 3CCD MiniDV camcorder that has audio inputs and gain controls (Canon XL2, GL2; Panasonic AG-DVC20, AG-DVC30, AG-DVC60; Sony VX2100) Virtually any professional 3CCD camcorder is TV quality or better. (will run anywhere from $800 to $4000)
Lights: look for a basic fluorescent lighting kit (check out http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/2249/Fluorescent_Lights_Kits.htmlfor a great choice of Fluorescent Lighting kits.
Audio: check out the Pro Audio department at B&H and look for a mid-range shotgun mic or lavalier mic kit. ($200-400)
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
