best camcorders to buy 2013 image
Dakota Rob
Okay, so I'm really new to recording, and I bought a condenser microphone, a phantom power supply, the cord, nice headphones and a music recording program called MAGIX Music Maker 2013, and I was wondering on how do I plug my microphone into my computer? None of the plugs in my computer match that of the three-pin cable that is meant for the microphone. I'm just so confused and any advice on what I should get, what you have that works for you, etc, would be great.
Thanks in advance, Dakota Day Roberts
Answer
You need an adapter, probably like the one "MONO Balanced XLR mic to Stereo Camcorder mic in (1/8 inch mini-phone)" in the source. The 3 pin XLR mic connecter and microphone is usually wired as balanced, while the computer 1/8" jack is unbalanced type input, so you need an adapter. Easier to just buy one, source 2.

Whats better the canon gl1 or the canon gl2?
Victor
whats a better camera for filming the gl1 or gl2
Answer
Victor, as with all things in life, there is no such thing as "better" without qualifications.
Neither camera is good for filming since neither camera shoots film.
Neither camera is good for professional video.
Both cameras are adequate for upper end consumer grade video.
The GL1 is better if you're on a budget and can't afford a newer GL2.
Both cameras are pretty much dinosaurs though since they only shoot in Standard Definition and record to tape. All new camcorders worth buying shoot at least High Definition and record to flash memory of some type.
When I was in college from 1999-2003, we got about 10 Canon GL2's when they were brand new and as a one of the people who was in charge of maintaining them, I found that they broke constantly (particularly the plastic mount around the tripod socket and head/tape transport issues) and did poor white balance. On the good side, they performed well in low light and the built-in audio, though not XLR was very clean. Overall though, unless someone is giving you one now, I hardly think they're worth buying as they are going to be on their last legs in 2013.
