I want to buy a camera for making unboxing and reviews, then publish it on YouTube. The problem is I do not have any experience with cameras. What is the type of the camera should I get? What else equipment do I need?

you don't need a camera you need a camcorder Sony HDR-CX220/B High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR95H0W/ref=as_li_q...


Actually I was about to ask about this. Is it better to get a camera or camcorder? I want to add another point, the videos I will make, will be used for business purpose. I do not want to pay a lot of money for camera I will not use half of its features, and I do not want to change the camera every while

Personally, I believe that you would be better off getting a camcorder instead of a camera for recording video especially since they will be used for business purposes. That's not to say that some cameras don't record quality video. Once you really get into it you may find the features you consider "useless" right now may be of great value later on. If you are serious about this then you will want to have as much control over the video recording as you can. I'm not suggesting you spend a lot of money but rather that you not take the cheapest way out.

Two you may want to consider are:
Canon 32GB VIXIA HF R52 Full HD Camcorder
Panasonic HC-V520 Full HD Camcorder
Both are priced at $399.00 at B&H Photo.
The Canon has a slightly larger image sensor (1/4.85") than the Panasonic (1/5.8") which should give you better video quality and has 32GB of internal storage. Both have SD card slots. It's a good idea to do some research on both before making a decision if you decide to go with either of these two.
