    Default [OT] Need a camcorder with external mic

    I have been trawling the interwebs trying to find one and it is sending the Dribble loopy.

    I thought I found a good one with the Canon R50, but I can't find it on any UK shops and the import tax from the US is around $160, so sod that. Canon UK only sells the Legria versions which don't have a mic input.

    Looking to spend under £300.

    The Legria HF20 has an external mic input. See page 78 of the manual here: HF20_HF200_IB_ENG.pdf

    Hope this helps

    Actually, I didn't want to butt in on Helldemon's threads, but I am planning a Youtube review series in the near future.
    As visual as said productions are, poor audio quality can be a turn-off for people and can be (if only subconsciously) a significant factor in video enjoyment.

    (I should note that isn't a specific criticism of our esteemed colleague.)

    I would suggest to get yourself a photo camera with the option to record in Full HD 1080p resolution.

    These usually come with a good build in stereo microphone and also a good wide enough angle lense (usually a little wider than a normal video camera) which will allow for easier recording indoors.

    Not completely on topic, but close enough..
    Say, I want some.. Lets call it surveillance.. In my apartment (totally not the bedroom! *cough*)..
    I would need to be be at least 720p, and small in size.. With an build-in mic ofc.

    Anyone here have some experience in the "field"?

    Home surveillance is a big business these days, a google search will get you entire systems, not just cameras.

    Although filming other people without their knowledge (even in your own home) is still a breach of privacy in many places. Might be worth checking on this first .

    True, but last I checked (3-4 years ago), the quality of cams made for surveillance, was pretty bad.
    A lot has probably happend since then though

    As long as I dont rent out a room and putting cams up there, its perfectly legal.. We have some pretty weird laws (sex with animals is legal here... Enough said...).
    It wouldnt be legal, if I put it up online though
