I'm looking for a good digital camcorder for under $500. I've been considering getting the new Canon ZR700 because it has some nice options including widescreen HR recording and an SD memory card slot at a great price ($299 at Amazon.com). The only drawback is that to my knowledge, there is no microphone in! This is important to me, and so I can't consider that camera although it has some great features
. Has anyone here had a good experience with a similar camera WITH a mic in, and could point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot,
Christian
