What are some good focusing cameras?

I'm looking for a camera that focuses in on details while filming video. I make makeup videos on youtube and beauty and a lot of the time I'm showing products that have small brand names on it. I'm looking for it to be a Canon camera. I'm not sure if they make any that focus but I sure hope they do because I have a lot of Canon Brand chargers and accesories. I also need it to be 10 megapixels or higher, preferably 12. And maybe an HD one? Thanks so much. (: Oh, and my price range is under $250. (:

Thats the kind of focusing I want but in video.

You want a high end video camera for UNDER 250? Good luck.

Not sure what do you mean by focusing. Do you mean autofocus? Or do you mean by shallow depth of field that lets you show a portion of the things in focus while the rest is blur?

If it's just autofocus, any will do. Canon PowerShot SD780 is around $200 or more, will take 720p HD. But don't expect much since its just a cheap camera.

If you want depth of field control and autofocus in video, prepare to cough out $1500 or more. There's no other way. Gears capable of professional results will come with a pricetag that matches.

Your canon accessories will not matter. I'd only imagine Canon would change their accessories from time to time to make it incompatible so you have to keep on buying new ones so they can earn more, plus, many will come with the package already.

If you don't mind Canon brand I would recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10.1 MP with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD. Great zoom, great image quality and also take HD video in "AVCHD Lite" format allows longer recordings with breathtaking HD visual and audio quality
