What do you think about the RED camcorders?

Are they the best? I mean are they better then Canon or Sony or other? Are there other brands like RED that solely make camcorders? I am trying to make professional movies and documentaries. Are they HD? Plus I am confused with all the different lenses that they have do I need them all?

1. Honestly, if you have to ask these questions, you probably should not be wasting your money or time...

But... to answer directly:

Are they the best?
Some say so.

I mean are they better then Canon or Sony or other?
Some say so - others may point you at Silicon Imaging. Though Panavision, Varicam, CineAlta and others will also raise their hands...

Are there other brands like RED that solely make camcorders?
Yes - Silicon Imaging is one... Arri is another. Panavision... and several others.

Are they HD?
Yes.

Plus I am confused with all the different lenses that they have do I need them all?
It depends on the project and the shots you want... and how long you have to wait from the time you decide you need the lens until you can get it...
