I'm pretty sure Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung all fall behind the other two. But I'm looking for a professional video camera for under 2000 dollars.
It needs:
good battery life
magnificent quality (The HDest HD)
very good quality in low light shots (dark rooms, nighttime)
good memory
a boom mic...
footage of console video games? I am wanting to record stuff from my video games, mainly Super Smash Bros Brawl, and want to share the videos online. I wish to find a device that will record my video games (and hopefully the saved replays as well) so that I can use them on places such as Youtube.
