Question

Camcorder recommendation for live streaming

I am in the market for a good (pro)camcorder to stream live university seminars. Currently I use a Canon Optura Xi with firewire output and use the miniDV tape for backup in case something interfers with the live stream. I want to get away from miniDV tape and find a video camera with SD/flash card recording. My dilemma, most new camcorders do not have firewire output for live recording. We do our live stream through the Adobe Media Encoder. Any suggestions for video camera/ camcorder options for under $4000.?
