good dv camcorder for utube / podcasts?

by kickme444 Aug 7, 2007 10:21AM PDT

Hello, I am hoping someone would like to advise me on either some things to look for in a camcorder, or some specific camcorders that will be used pretty much exclusively for indoor (kitchen) filming and will be destined for the likes of youtube and better quality podcasts, but will rarely see the light of day outside of those venues. So, initially I doubt that i will need an hd camera.

So, fake light (kitchen lights) == low light probably (is that considered low light?), I will have access to external mics, so a camera that can take external mics would be ideal. these videos will also surely never surpass an hour in running time, and that is probably a stretch.

Anyone have any input here?
