From what I've seen, the Samson Zoom Q3 standard def portable video recorder might be worth a look for you - but small lenses and imaging chip will be problematic for low-light environments (but you said video is not so important) - same with the Alesis VideoTrack. Above this, and the Canon HF M and HF R series and I *think* the Sony HDR-CX500 and above series - but they will have other issues for you - more to follow on this. It seems the Alesis VideoTrack can't keep up with the Q3...
What camcorders might work best for recording band, especially live in clubs? Special focus on capturing drum sounds (drums are not miked for the club sound system). Would like to post to web, do some basic editing. Our computer is very basic - both the hardware and our computer skills! We would definitely consider hooking external mic to the camcorder. Don't want to break the bank. Not overly concerned with video definition.
Thanks for any tips regarding either particular models or just features to look for!
