Hi mxtek – either of these cameras will do a great job – but at your $2000 price point, I would look at a couple of other options.
1. The Sony HXR-NX70 is the big brother to the NX30 and is on sale for $1999 right now at Amazon. It has the same terrific stabilization as the NX30 – and adds a waterproof body and lens. Here is what this camera can do:

2. You may also want to consider the large sensor "shallow depth of field" interchangeable lens look that many clients seem to prefer. If so, for camcorder guys, I recommend a $1798 body-only Sony NEX-VG30 with a $298 50mm f1.8 starter lens – you can get the Sony power zoom http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B20OYVS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00B20OYVS&linkCode=as2&tag=videomaker22forum-20 later. Here is what this camera can do:
