Answer
No, if you are serious about quality. As you didn't like Bloggie, you would mostly likely not like L810 too.
Most of us know that most compact cameras, or smart-phones like iPhones, are not good at video recording. If light is good, they do an okay job. When light is dull, they are almost unusable. Same is true for most consumer SLR cameras with kit lenses. So what do we do to take high quality High-Definition videos? Should we use an HD camcoder or a pocket camcorder like Sony Bloggie or UltraHD?
Most compact cameras don't do a good job in low light- for still images or for videos. If you zoom in, the shake becomes too obvious. Most DSLRs will do a little better as light level goes down but many of them will not auto focus during videos (because of the mirror which needs to be flipped for focusing). You can bypass this with a mirrorless camera which can auto focus, like Panasonic G or GF series but with Auto focus, you lose the control over which part of the frame, or on which person to focus on. If you have 3 persons in a frame, your Auto-Focus will not know which one you want to focus on. Why not? Silly, it is Auto-focus! It focuses by itself!! That is the reason you never see a professional movie or videos done with Autofocus.

I'm looking for a high-speed camera that is affordable for me. I would also like to know if it shoots slow-motion in HD. If anybody knows a camera, please tell me!

Answer
Probably this article with answer your question in best possible way.
It does a quick comparision of videos with point and shoot cameras, consumer grade camcorders and dSLRs. Most people use DSLRs for video without knowing that they are very capable of giving you professional quality videos. Many people get stuck with AF or no AF in the camera during video recording but if you really want to take eye catching professional quality vidoes, you must use Manual Focus to keep the thing you want to keep in focus and not the things your camera likes to keep in focus. Also you need to be able to change the Aperture on the fly to control the depth of field. Most modern lenses don't offer Aperture and Focus ring on the lens. You would also need fast lenses.
