Is the Sony EX1 camcorder a good choice for shooting a low-budget horror movie?

I've just finished my script for a new low-budget horror movie and i'm in the market of shopping for a new camera. Obviously, there are lots of choices, but I need one that will handle fight scenes, a car chase scene, and night scenes (will probably use "day for night" instead of actual night shooting). Any info or advice from someone who knows or has used this type of equipment will be appreciated. Also am open to other suggestions on what camera might be better.|||the fisher-price PXL2000 gives a much better horror image.
