Digital Video Camera buying advice

by bja5150 Jan 22, 2011 11:06AM PST

I am looking into getting a new video camera. I have an old Olympus pocket digital camera that I have used for video clips for a while. It wasn't the best video, but had pretty good sound for its size. I take all kinds of clips...family, fun, you name it, but one thing I like to do is get video at local shows I go to. I have some friends in bands and get things for them time to time and put them online for them. I would like to improve the video so I can put them to DVD/BLURAY disc later. Most cameras will do good on normal circumstances, but in my case, what would be good for these things? Record video at local clubs and get great or even decent video/audio (would get better external mic if possible hopefully not too big, put them to disc and transfer some to youtube clips. Of course, inexpensive would be nice, but will to pay some money for it. Compact would also be nice. Thanks for your help.
