Which camera for my mac?

[Peace Corp Connector]

First I have a budget of around 4000 for a prosumer camera and a 2 year old Mac Powerbook with FinalCutPro studio 3. I am searching for a camera that will be as close to broadcast quality as possible and can use lenses, maybe even something that records uncompressed? I only have six months to carry out my project and have to purchase everything that will be needed to make a film and need some general equipment ideas. What cameras and sound equipment would work with this budget, we hope to submit the final project to festivals and tv stations. Also what other types of equiment and essential little things should I also look into?

Thanks for the help!
