I can't see anything cheaper than a $145 Zoom H2 at the moment, and I
think if people used one before buying a lute I would guess that 50
percent would change their minds. Just a guess.
But wait, there's more!!!
And if you want HD video, there is a new Kodak (did I say Kodak?)
minicam out that not only does HD video but also has a mic input. You
can just run a ministereo cable from the Zoom to the Camera and you are
ready to roll!

And it fits in the palm of your hand (awwwwwwwwwww...............) for
$150
Not as good as a Canon HF10, but very cool and very portable. Can't
believe they put a mic input on it, but you will still get better sound
from the Zoom.
The thing is, you can record it on both and replace the audio if you
want to if you feel you have something really nice.

Maybe David can tell us on how to record our lutes, maybe cheaply,
if for nothing else than to
hear how we actually sound.
