My general recommendations: - Get a camcorder with a jack for an external microphone
- It must have controls manual microphone gain
- low-light or no-light capability
- preferrable to have a focus ring for manual adjustments
- prefferrable to have a view-finder in addition to the LCD monitor panel
- the larger the lens diameter, the better
These are the basic features. If the camera has the features listed above, they will mostlikely have the other important ones I'll list below. Confirm the camera has: - white balance setting
- headphone jack for monitoring
- able to attach a wide-angle lens
I'll think of some more eventually. These are the important ones. |

I'll think of some more eventually. These are the important ones. I'll add one more item to your general recommendations list - a mounting point for a microphone on top of the camera. Most brands seem to have some special mount point that is meant so only Canon mics can mount on a Canon camera, etc. However, a quick google search will usually turn up an adapter to allow you to mount any mic on top of your camera. Granted, most cameras that include a mic-in jack will also include a mount point, but I thought it was worth mentioning. |
