Replying to Not another camera thread... But really, help me.

So i have no idea what a good camera is but i want to get one to film. My friend has a Panasonic HDC-SD10 and i have seen videos he has uploaded with it and they seem like really good quality you can view them on youtube in "1080p" . Does anyone know anything about this camera? If you do how well do you think it will fair in a winter environment and with follows and such? Or should i just get an HD go pro instead?
