I just wanted to add that there is no standard for cameras in documentary filmmaking. The closest you would come to a standard would be what Canadian broadcasters require, as getting Canadian funding grants usually require a Canadian broadcaster to be linked to a project.
That's only for Canadian doc though, and only those funded through public channels. If you have a camera, you can make a doc.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you intend to do any VFX shots, having handheld footage could make it extremely difficult or impossible to track and match the footage. You'll want to have an effects consultant approve any technique if you'll need VFX added later.
