best video camera for recording movies image
Ruddy
Not the film camera with rolls i mean the digital video camera to record good movies, with the right sensor to low lights, good definition, acceptable sounds, not to big, 750 dollars below.
might be fine a nikon d7000 with 55mm? i know that a professional camera are to expensive, but i dont want to begin with the left foot.
you are right the correct term is camcorder but you understand my answer, which is a good camcorder to recorder in lowlight, independently of the subject.

I agree with fhotoace...
If video is important, then a camcorder is preferred. It is designed to capture video. And audio. capturing still images is a secondary "convenience feature".
If stills are important, than use a still image capture device. Like a dSLR. Capturing video (and audio is a secondary "convenience feature". For example, if you read the documentation the Nikon D7000, you will find they will overheat when capturing video "for prolonged periods" (about 15 minutes maximum) and stop video capture until it cools down (takes a long time)... or... check their built-in (mono) mic and no (or extremely limited) manual audio control. This means no stereo without an external mic and adding something like a XLR adapter (~$350 from juicedLink or BeachTek) to plug into the stereo audio input + use the audio gain controls... or... use an external audio recording device like a Zoom H2, H2n, H4n and take the extra steps to import and sync the audio when editing...
Basically you end up spending more money and time you would not spend if you use the right tool for the task.
I am not saying any dSLR can't capture good video - they can - but they cannot be treated like a camcorder. There are workarounds for lots of things that you normally don't need to worry about when using a camcorder...
And we have not discussed captured video file compatibility with your computer/video editor (MOV from the dSLR), tripod and other steadying devices, lighting requirements, power supplies., cables, mics (there is no single best mic)... and lots of other "accessories" needed for successful video capture.
The camera/camcorder is only one part of a much larger system.

I have a video camera with one long video on it. How do I seperate a part of this video from the rest?

I want to put a Halo 3 movie on Youtube. I've recorded the video on my video camera but I had to record it about 53 minutes into the tape because a family video took up the first 50 minutes of the tape. Do you have any suggestions on how I can take a section of the video and put it on Youtube? If I need software please tell me what software I need.
Answer
If you recorded 103 minutes of video on a camcorder tape, this is not a miniDV tape based camcorder - it sounds like it is a full sized VHS analog camcorder so there will not be any digital connections.
How would you normally connect the camcorder to a computer? If this has not been done, and my assumption in the first paragraph is correct, then you need to get an analog/digital bridge like

Connect the camcorder to the A/D bridge with the AV cables that came with the camcorder, then connect the A/D bridge to the computer... and follow the instructions that come with the A/D bridge.
