Replying to Time for a Camera update

I need some advice on a new camera, and i hate to say it but i wanna keep it under 2k, but if you guys think its a better deal/ idea i can go up but would prefer not to, need that money for some trips

Some things to say:
-It needs to be HD (no duh) with crisp video, popping colors sure why not, but clarity is a preference.
-Used to use a Vx1000
-The camera will be used for fun/ profit at one point not in skiing, but main use will be skiing/ skateboarding.
-We are on the east coast.
