What are good video cameras to make videos with? Like vlogs and similar types of videos. I was thinking about a GoPro just because they're versatile. Price isn't really an issue, I just want to know what your opinion on good cameras is.

Depends what you need camera for. If you're gonna make vlogs and vlogs only then go with Canon s120, but is you planning to make gaming videos and chroma key yourself that you should go with something more camcorder oriented like Sony HDR-PJ620 or DSLR like Canon 700D (Rebel T5i on US market).
The only problem with DSLRs is recording limit which is up to 30 minutes because of taxes (everything above 30 minutes falls under camcorders).
I'm using Sony PMW EX-1 camera for my videos and I'm using fluorescent photography light. Booth of them are borrowed because sony cost to much to buy it in this moment.

I'm using it for vlogs mainly. I want a really good looking HD camera for making IRL videos
I currently use a Canon EOS 700D for my vlog videos! It's pretty big so it might be a little hard to vlog in public with if you're doing it vlog style I guess! 
You can check out how the quality of that camera is on my latest video to get a look on how it is! Phone cameras can work fine though!

As far as I know this is the best 4K camera money can buy in this price range. The only problem I've noticed with her is if you record Full HD you're not gonna get that good picture. I don't know why is it so, but I suppose that this is happening because camera has 4K chip and when you record Full HD she need to use this chip differently. Overall the picture on Full HD is not that sharp as it should be.
So if You're planning to use it for 4K go for it if you got a budget but if you're planning to shot Full HD or 720p don't waste your money.

Yeah the 4K was what I was looking for because I want that ultra sharp image that I just cannot get on my HD that I have now..
If you wanna see some interesting 4K footage check out "MKBHD" channel on youtube. It a tech review guy and he owns 4K RED camera and of course uploads videos in 4K.[DOUBLEPOST=1448129777][/DOUBLEPOST]
Yes, youtube supports 4K but better get a fast upload.
Check out youtube channel "MKBHD". That's a tech review channel in 4K.
I'm hoping that the panasonic cam is on sale on blackfriday crossing my fingers !! (I just broke the adapter of my old cam and I just don't want to put any more money in the old thing!)

I would disagree with a Gopro for vlogging. The shot will be too wide, it will be hard to keep you as the focused subject. The other reason; by other peoples experiences and reviews, the Gopro mic isn't that great. There are alot of cameras out there to choose from. I'd just suggest staying away from the Gopro
I completely agree with the mic part. I'll probably only use the GoPro for certain events that it's intended to be used for. I just said to go with that because I have a friend's GoPro to use temporarily until I get a cameraI would disagree with a Gopro for vlogging.
