Full HD camcorder + MIC Input for recording Lectures

Feb 20, 2011 6:50PM PST

Hello

I am searching for a Full HD camcorder with MIC Input.

The recording would be of a teacher, and we need some sort of Lapel mic to pin it to the teachers shirt for recording his Voice only. We do not want to record noise from the background as there will be other people in the same room.

I search on BHPhoto site and asked their rep for help

My budget is below $600

they suggested :
Canon VIXIA HF21
Azden WLX Pro Wireless Lavalier Mic System WLX-PRO

The camcoder will be sitting on a tripod close to the teacher.

I would like to know if there is any better choices for my needs ?

I will be posting the videos on Blip, youtube.

Should I go with FUll HD or HD 720 ?
