the video camera i have is a canon zr200, it's decent. video quality at night is poor though and you absolutely have to use manual focus because the auto focus on it is poop! the sony handycams are pretty nice, especially if it has the nightshot plus (nightvision). i'm going to try to upgrade to a 3ccd camera this summer though (much higher quality).

lol... if nightvision is something you really want make sure that's what you're getting.. because a lot of camera have something like a "night mode" and it's not really nightvision, it just slows the shutter speed and looks like crap in my opinion
