YouTube Camera for Me

[RCLifeOn]

I mainly create DIY videos on YouTube, but also reviews of radio controlled cars, 3D printers and similar products. As of now I have been recording with my Sony Alpha a55 but I've reached a point where the camera limits me to shoot the videos I want.

Here's some of the things I miss with my current equipment:

Time-lapse
Slow motion (At least 60fps, is 120fps possible?)
Image stabilization (Sony Alpha a55 does have but doesn't work very well)
Smooth auto focus (Sony Alpha a55 is way to fast and makes noise)
Flip screen to record yourself (vlogging)
Long record time (current camera overheats after 15min)

Budget: 800-1200$

Here you can see what kind of videos I create (not trying to promote it): RCLifeOn

Camcorder perhaps? That's what they are made for.

Olympus EM1 Mark II does 4k, also 60fps amazing stabilizing (probably the best in cameras). Take a look at some reviews specifically the ones that focus on video. You may also want to check out the Panny cameras, they have always been great with video.

Oh didn't see your budget. Take a look at the Panny cameras then. The Olympus EM1.2 is out of budget.

I went with the Panasonic g85 myself though.

Glad to be of service. You want long record times. All digital cameras will have a 29 minute recording time. Period. A good camcorder should meet your needs.
Maybe something like this. Amazon.com : Sony 4K HD Video Recording FDRAX33 Handycam Camcorder : Camera & Photo
