School Concert Recording

Dec 24, 2005 7:13AM PST

I am interested in an inexpensive camcorder that I can use to record band and choir concerts at my school. They would most likely be recorded from a distance as our concerts are in a gymnasium and filming would take place from the bleachers.I would like to have good audio and the option of an external microphone. Obviously, since it is for a school I would like to get by with one that is inexpensive but still provides relatively good quality picture and sound. I can't imagine spending more than $500.

Any ideas???
