SONY, Nikon or Canon camcorders?

Which ones are better as in quality, durability, battery life, etc?
I heard Canons are the top/best out of these but I'm not so sure.

Added (1). Or PANASONIC?

Those are All Great camcorder makes, I really would go with Sony, or canon, OR Panasonic. I have had a lot of camcorders made by these company's

I once bought a Sony, (Still have it) and it bought it in 2003! AND I USE IT LIKE EVERY DAY AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW!

Right now I use for HD Videos is a Panasonic TM80,

I Had a Cannon SD870 and it held up for 4 years, Sadly, it broke after it fell of my bed, (For the 7th time)

Nikon does not make camcorders.

Sony partnered with Kodak to make the first camcorder, so they have the most experience.

of the group, Canon has by far the least experience, they used to just slap their brand on Sony made camcorders.

Panasonic and JVC are market partners and their products are often similar.

Just the same as you i think Canon the top of camcorders, but Sony is not bad.
