High definition video that can shoot like this http://www.vimeo.com/431500

Easy to edit video format

This might be what your looking for. They don't have "night vision" but you can allways rent / buy a night vision adapter...

I recently bought the HVR-HD-1000U.

 

It's a very good starter camera and very easy to use.

 

Most enjoyable feature is the beautiful picture. Also not too shabby in the night shot.

 

Hope you find what your looking for.

 

Good luck,

High frame rate for slow motion shooting

 

If you really want this, the only Prosumer Cameras that can do it are the HVX200 or the HPX170 (both from Panasonic).

I own the sony V1u and the HD1000. The V1u is a much better camera, just doesn't have nightshot. But if you have the budget, just buy an infra-red flashlight or something. Most digital cameras can pick up infra-red light. If i'm right, your cell phone will too. Point it at your tv remote and change the channel.

 

If you don't care about nightshot and don't have a budget, the panasonics are the top of the line. HVX puts out a beautiful image and the high frame-rate is true 60fps recording. The sony's smooth-slow downs the quality quite a bit.
