Specs:
u/DarthonX330 - the G85 is a great hybrid still/video camera - but for corporate and short films I would personally get a real cinema camera with professional codecs.
The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera is on sale right now for $795 - and a Lilliput A5 monitor with an LP-E6 plate (same as the camera) is $149.
This camera will give you more dynamic range than a still camera - plus professional 10-bit ProRes and losslessly compressed 12-bit RAW codecs with more colors and gradeability than any 8-bit DSLR or mirrorless camera.
And with a $500 audio budget, I would get a $409.99 Zoom H5 bundled with the SGH6 shotgun capsule and a set of headphones [Referral Links].
Here is the image quality the BMMCC can produce:
Advertising and corporate promos
Docs
Short Films/Narrative
Live Performances and Music Videos
1080/60p Slow Motion
There are many more examples in the Pocket/Micro Cinema Camera group I moderate over on Vimeo.
Although Blackmagic cameras have a steeper learning curve than consumer DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, and color grading in post is pretty much mandatory - in my view, they are the best pure filmmakers' cameras in this price range and well worth the money.
If you decide to go with the BMMCC, you might want to subscribe over at /r/bmpcc and /r/Blackmagicdesign - lots of knowledgeable folks there who can help you get the most out of your new camera.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with finding the right camera for your needs!
