  • What camera to buy

    Posted by Blake Hyggen on February 10, 2011 at 4:46 pm

    I work at a high school and have been approved to purchase 4 video cameras. I have $800 to spend per camera. I would like to know if there are any suggestions on what cameras to purchase. I have been using the HV40, but would like to get away from tape based media if possible. I would like a camera that supports an external mic; I looked at the Canon Vixia HF S200, but it lacks the mic support that I need.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The S200 has a 3.5 stereo mic input which will accept most self-powered condenser mic with a proper adapter.
