Alright, I need suggestions. I am finally going to purchase a camcorder or whatever these things are called and so I can put out my own videos on my blogsite... These will be mostly just Youtube length 10 minutes or so but I need something that will go a couple hours if I need it to. I have also heard that having an external wireless mic is helpful as well, can you get this feature in a relatively inexpensive unit? What are all the cool kids buying these days? This would be our families first video camera so I need input! Thanks

Thanks Prepper Ok, if you just want a "soccer mom" camera, I'd at least recommend something in HD, something with removable media, like a Compact Flash card that is reusable and easily transferred to computer. As far as audio is concerned, wireless mics are usually only for higher-end applications like interviews, walking-around shots, etc. It sounds like you just need a decent quality onboard shotgun mic. You can find a decent variety of models that will clip onto your camera as well as be handheld, tethered by a cable. B&H Photo is a good place to window shop. They have a huge selection, so you can find what you want depending on your budget. Here's a starter for you. It's got pretty much anything you need. It may be a little pricey for you, but it's a good starting point. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597660-REG/Sony_HDRXR520V_HDR_XR520V_240GB_High_Definition.html  Or, a cheaper alternative might be: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/537984-REG/Sony_HDR_UX20_HDR_UX20_High_Definition_DVD.html  |
