That is going to depend on a lot of things. If you have a nice home theater setup (4K TV) and you are OK spending a little money, Sony just announced at CES an $1,100 4K camcorder to be released in March. Typically these things go for $2K or more, so that price point is amazing. The model number is HDR-AX33 if you want to look up information on it. The problem is if you don't have the other items to show that amazing video, there is no real reason to buy it.

Now if you are looking for something a little more "down to earth" Sony has a full range of camcorders that are nice. The ones built today are going to be all flash memory since tapes are so "outdated".

The HDRPJ275 is going to be a high definition camcorder with a 8gb of built in memory memory. I have owned several Sony camcorders and they do an excellent job of low light shooting. The batteries last a pretty long time, so recording a game will not be an issue. The nice thing about this one is it has a 27x optical zoom. Digital zoom has gotten a lot better over the years, but optical is still the best way to go. This is slightly better than the more expensive version.

There are other features, but nothing earth shattering since most every one of them has the same things.
