You should be looking at camcorders.

Low cost digital cameras will only have a rudimentary sound system with cheap microphones.
Basic automatic gain control circuitry is as good as it gets.
All the development money goes into taking a better still picture.
Video/Audio take a back seat.

If you do not need HD video, the $150 Samson Zoom Q3 pairs a standard definition video camera with a high quality stereo mic digital audio. You can see and hear examples of the Zoom Q3's quality on YouTube.

Samson also makes an HD video version, the Zoom Q3HD, about $300.
