I am looking to start recording guitar covers soon and I was wondering what will I get the best quality recording my videos with. I plan to do this a very basic way and record the audio of my guitar and video all at the same time. What will give me the best sound? A camcorder? A digital camera? A webcam? Thank you!

Answer
On board microphones on cameras don't have great audio quality. In my opinion, the sound is the key for music covers so you should think about getting a decent camera and a nice microphone or recorder. I am a big fan of Canon S100 so you should look into that. S95 used ones are nice as well. As for the sound, check out the Zoom H1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA-Qo1ebDSI

A camcorder like the Sony Handycam should have a stereo microphone on board. If you don't have much to invest, check out some camcorders. They have pretty decent sound coming out from their on board mic.

should I buy an expensive camcorder or an expensive digital camera?

I want to take quality pictures & videos with no intentions of doing one more then the other but when i got to "best-buy" it seems like both(camcorders & digital cameras) can shoot video as well as take pictures. so i don't know which one to choose over the other since i know nothing about either.

Answer
Digital cameras take video nowadays. You don't need camcorders anymore!! Go with the digital camera! I haven't heard of camcorders taking pictures. But digital cameras are also smaller (from what I've seen).
