Best for Aspiring Auteurs
Sony Handycam NEX-VG20
Whether it’s your ticket to Hollywood or a detour into unpaid starving artistry, the extremely overqualified NEX-VG20 is what other so-called “prosumer” camcorders aren’t: practical. Its E-Mount lenses are interchangeable with Sony’s line of NEX still cams, offering an excuse to splurge on a telephoto lens — and an increased chance you’ll actually use it. [$2,200 with kit lens; sonystyle.com]
