Any of the cameras you're describing will do a decent job, it's what you do with them.
This is another useful title:
The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movie...

...is a good resource and forum as well.
And note that despite the title of his book, much of it applies not only to actioners, low-budget or otherwise, but also narrative cinema in general.
