For the budding Spielbergs out there, this is the camera that will make you look like a pro. The Sony NEX VG-20 might be pricey, but with good reason, well a few of them actually. It shoots at a super fast bitrate, making for smooth video, and features a 16.1MP MP Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor capable of 1080p at 60fps, 5.1 surround sound, and an 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 E-mount lens included – and seven others to chose from. The only downside is you’ll have no excuses for your videos being anything less than perfect.
