First a BIG Thanx to Jules, Gena, and David for the advice that

I've saved the email that you wrote as a reference for the future. It
was the most considered and considerate response I got, and well, the
future rushed in the door this past weekend. Right off the bat, I'm

Hi Tom,
Oops, didn't copy the list in my first response to you. Then thought of one
last thing to add (at end of this email).
In case anyone else wants to jump in to reply to Tom, my advice was that I
believe a cheap camera like the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 would do just fine (as
would many others).

A good quality camera shouldn't have too much problem with tape
noise. An in-store test isn't going to help you because of the
background noise.Better to google. But even if there's no real
hum from the tape mechanism, the on-board mic is going to be pretty
poor quality anyway

Hi Tom,
You mentioned the Sanyo's and their Xacti line is a big hit with many on this
list and I'm one of them.
To get an external mic you can go with the VPC-HD2000 which has a street price
of $500 new (I think they listed for around $800). I really am a huge fan of

I still love the Canon HV20. It's been superseded a couple of times,
and I've heard much less about the HV30 and HV40 than I did about the

to borrow a friend's for work, and never got round to getting my own.

Sony HVR-A1U CMOS High Definition Camcorder
I know the Panasonic is not HD but I have heard alot of good things
about the camera, about both actually and I was looking for some
feedback on low
I've used the Panasonic as a rental camera before, and it's quite nice.
It has a lot of manual control for audio video settings, a nice lens
and good on-board mic performance.

If you put aside the format question, the Panasonic is light years beyond
the Sony in every other respect. It's an incredible camera.The Sony model is
basically a hacked consumer HDV that adds a semi-pro mic interface. The
image quality is inferior to that of the Canon
I should clarify - the HV20 is NOT a good choice for paid work unless you
are really experienced with it and know how to tweak it, have a client who
understands that that thing that looks like it came out of a cereal box

You could try using an external microphone. Chances are your camera's
internal mic is picking up it's own noise.
Hope that helps.

Easiest way to fix it is to record the sound to a separate source and synch
it later. Just use a clapper, or even a shot of a person clapping, and line
up the sound of the clap with the picture. This is how it was done in films
for years and, despite what some editors claim, it's really easy,
Well, I'm using a kind-of external microphone. It's an external shotgun
microphone plugged into the microphone slot using the jack on the top.

No, not an external microphone, to a separate source entirely. For example,
an mp3 player with a line in jack. (I assume we're talking about doing stuff
on the cheap here.)
