Which of these cameras is best? - 2
I know nothing of cameras. I need a camera for high resolution, something that can record videos (with good sound), and it needs zoom that is decent. I have about $1500. I need the answer fast because Costco is having some rebates before this Saturday. Some of my friends have the Canon T3i and the pictures come out really high resolution. That's what I really want. Is there a huge difference between 24 and 18? Which of these is the best?

Second one (canon T4i) is best.
Sony do better video than either, but only intelligent people have heard of them.
Best is subjective.
Check out the functions and features of each and buy the one that ticks the most boxes.
"Zoom" is a function of the lens(es) not the camera. Lenses are available for DSLRs from 6mm to 1200mm focal length giving a zoom of 200x - just not in the same lens!
Without wishing to be too condescending, because of the way you have asked the question I would recommend the Nikon D3200 or Canon T4i. Use the rest of your budget to buy additional lenses after you have had the camera for a month or 2 and worked out which extra lens(es) are best for your particular useage pattern.
