I'm looking for a video camera with better life than this. I want it to have similar stats and functionality, but with a ~90+ min battery life, preferably more.
I kinda would like a camcorder, like those little handheld ones, but I'm not sure what's actually good.
See, this one looks nice:

However, someone said all the reviews are fake... and they kinda look it.
Then there's, like, this one:

Seems pretty good also, but I can't find any results about battery life, other than people saying it's "good", but "good" would mean 2h+ for me.
I have a few others listed, but this last one here seems like the best option, but I wanna know what y'all think:

So, ultimately, I guess, what's a good camcorder for YouTube vids? I do NOT want to exceed $200, if at all possible.
If it can record for 2 hours in 720p, I'm more than happy.
But my Olympus

only gets, AT MOST 70 minutes, and it has a automatic record end after 46 minutes
Any suggestions?
Is the $159.95 one good?

Is this smart enough?

No, it needs to mount, and I ain't got a smartphone.

Well OP,
Want you want to is buy yourself a Canon 1DX MkII and a 28mm-70mm f/2.8 L series lens.
It's really good, most youtubers own one.
It may go past your $200 price point a bit, though.

Those names look like those shitty multifunction cameras you see in the Sunday ads or Chinese sites for $99. I'd avoid those. Of the three you listed, the Sony is the best bet since it's a known reputable brand. Though I suspect this one is refurbished by a third party and not Sony.
What is it you want to record? You sitting in your home and talking? Event coverage? Activity blogging?
Your 2 hour specification sounds like you plan to go to a concert, drop your camera and record the entire thing straight through. In which case, I guarantee you'll have shitty videos no matter how nice the camera is.
just get something that can charge over usb while recording, and a portable usb charger
