Hi Sonia,
I recommend Sanyo VPC-FH1A
* Capture Full 1080p HD video (60fps) and up to 8-megapixel still photos
* 16x advanced zoom for video; 10x optical zoom for photos
* Face Chaser technology (can detect up to 12 faces for photos and videos)
* Built-in still photo flash; High-Speed Sequential Shooting (12fps)
* Compatible with iFrame video format
The Sanyo FH1A Dual Camera is also the worldâs first camcorder that is compatible with iFrame.

Camcorders with GOOD sound?

I'm going to buy a camcorder, but i need one with good vision and good sound becuase I'm a singer. Any suggestions under $300?


Answer
The only way a camcorder has "good sound" is when the built-in mics are close to the source of the audio (in this case, you).

If you want good audio during a performance, and the camera is not close to you, then you will not have good audio. On top of that, DVD based camcorders are the worst to get video from to edit.

MiniDV tape based camcorders continue to provide the best available video quality (when compared to hard drive based, DVD based and flash memory based camcorders). MiniDV tape based video is easiest to edit - presuming your computer has a firewire port for transferring the video.

I shoot and edit music videos and do not work for an electronics store.

If your music is at all loud, most consumer camcorders cannot handle the loud audio through their built-in mics while using the automatic audio level circuit - you need a camcorder with manual audio level control. If the manual audio level control is not built-in to the camcorder, then something external is needed to control the audio.

I regret that your budget does not help very much and the closest I can get is a Canon ZR800 with a 1/8" mic-in jack and no manula control. So... this will need an external control. I would recommend a BeachTek DXA-6vu XLR adapter... and then you will need external XLR mics. NRG Research and Audio-Technica make good inexpensive condensor mics...
