The Panasonic cameras are good, what is you budget? John
I videotape our local Town Council meetings. So far, we've only used very, very low quality consumer MiniDV camcorders. I want to purchase a 'prosumer' level camcorder that can be hard-wired into the sound system while at the same time having the microphone capturing ambient audio in the room. I've looked at the Panasonic camcorders, and they seem to have virtually everything I want. I capture the video to my computer, edit, render, then transfer to VHS tape. Does anyone have experience with assuring hard-wiring of the sound system into the camera, while keeping audio capture of the room audio, plus having a not-quite-but-almost-broadcast-quality video capture.
