Video/Digital camera maybe under $250?
I go to a lot of shows and i only have a cheap 10mp digital camera. Its sound comes out full of static and you can't understand anything.
What camera or recording device is best for recording concerts/shows/anything loud?
Answer
The "best" will be any device with manual audio control. The automatic audio gain control in any camcorder get overpowered by loud audio resulting in clipping and that muddy and static sound.
Correctly using manual audio control prevents that clipping because it bypasses the auto mic gain control. The least expensive current camcorders - of which I am aware - with manual audio control are the Canon HV30 and the Sony HDR-HC9. They are well outside your budget.
An alternative is to keep using the camcorder you are using and get an external audio recording device - a field recorder - like those from Zoom, Edirol, Marantz, Sony, and others. When you edit the video, import the audio from the field recorder, sync the audio, then mute the audio that came in with the video.

What camcorder is best for my friend?
Dara
She is 16 and wants to be a director, so she wants to make short films for fun and stuff.
It has to be under 250
So being able to move around without it being blurry and crap is good
And high deff/long running time is good to
durable.
And obviously she is going to want one that has a memory card to put in her computer.
:) thank you!
