They make brackets that you screw into the tripod mount of the cam so you can mount a mic.

But you will never get really good sound with the mic mounted on the cam, no matter how expensive the mic.

If you mean the shotgun mics typically covered by a windscreen, yes, there are some cams that come with those. In the Sony family most of these would start with the letters HVR. The cheapest one...

You add the music in post. There should never be music playing while you are recording someone talking. You will never get good sound this way.

Does your PC see other FW devices through the same port and cable? Does the cam show up on other machines?

If there's an external mic input, you could just insert a mini plug into the jack, which will turn off the internal mic. But then your wind noise could just be replaced by an annoying electronic...

What software are you using for capture? You don't just plug the cam in like a disk drive. Windows Movie Maker comes with the OS and does a fine job.

Yes, but why would you shoot in SD when you could shoot in HD and have the higher-quality footage available to you in the future? You can't add quality -- you can only take it away. So shoot HD and...

24p is useless unless you are printing to motion picture film or you really like that look.

I'd go with the Sony, obviously, because I know the Sony and I don't know the Panny. The XR520V (the...

There are plenty of tape-phobes out there, but I'm not one of them. There's a reason the pros still overwhelmingly use tape. But that being said, even I am moving to tapeless/hybrid workflow.

No, you can't. Video resolution is very poor compared to a good still from a digital photo camera. You'll never get "big clear pics out of [your] footage."

You don't need to add a fourth (or fifth, or sixth, depending on how you look at it) thread on this topic. The ones you have in the Editing forum should be sufficient.

This isn't what you want to hear, but virtually any cam can do what you want. The Canon HV20, 30, 40, and Sony HC3, 5, 7 and 9, are all tape cams that can shoot in HDV and DV modes, and can...

I actually didn't know that their in-store prices were lower; I was only there once when I lived in the area. But I suppose that helps compensate for having to pay sales tax if you buy in the...

The A1 is a great cam, but it's several generations old and the FX7 is much more cam for the money (except for the XLRs, which would be nice). You could get an FX7 and a BeachTek adapter for less...

Then your choices are going to be fairly limited. Plenty of low-level consumer cams that are tapeless in your price range, but prosumer tapeless will be more expensive. If you go to B&H and search...

Confused. You say you want 720p60, but then list two devices that do neither 720 nor 60p; both top out at 480 lines at 30 fps. So neither will do what you want.

Edit: Oh, I see where the still...

I think you generally have it right. If you can find a reasonably priced D8 cam that will play Hi8 (be careful -- not all do) then that's probably the simplest and best way to go. Your HC21 might...
