Camcorders and/or External Microphones

[Bill Van Patten]

I’m in the market for a video camera and would appreciate any advice on camcorders and/or external microphones. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Me, too. A violinist told me any camera will do, as far as YouTube goes.

Well, our $1-200 happy snappy digital cameras do better sound for video than the

Actually I did some YouTube research, and you really can tell the difference between HD and SD; so I went for the best-reviewed HD in my budget.

I recorded this concert a couple of months ago with a Panasonic HD900 and a Rode Stereovideo Mic.

I would reccomend a Canon Digital Elph or one of those new camcorders that is waterproof that has come out (I think they are JVC). If you want an MP3-Recorder, go for a Sony IC recorder

I think there are many good and not so expensive Camcorders that would do the job now. Last year I used a Canon which had a jack for an external mic. That broke, twice! And had a slight hiss. So we bought a Panasonic HDC-SD60 FULL HD 1920 x1080, which, if you have a look at these two recordings (on the lowest quality settings, the best quality is about 50% better than what you see on YouTube) I made, you’ll see and hear that the quality is pretty good. No hiss and good pic quality. I’ve only made 5 recordings so far but I think you can see what I mean. Ithink they are about £150 /$240 now.
