thrillionaire – sorry to hear your Nikon is giving up on you.
If you can stretch your budget by $30, you can get a $594.63 Panasonic G7: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=191632937162&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
…plus a $439 Metabones Speed Booster: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=331427451713&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
That way, you can continue using your Nikon lenses, have a built-in viewfinder that actually works while you’re recording video and you can produce images with 4 times the resolution of your current Nikon 1080p camera.
Here is the image quality you can get from the G7 with the Metabones:

https://youtu.be/P35TNNomGsw (shot with the G7, a Metabones Speed Booster and a Nikkor 200 f4 – please watch at 2160p and your monitor’s highest resolution)
This is the highest quality video you can get for less than $1000.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your upgrade!
