Q. My bf plays for a band and I record with my kodak zd15. The sound sucks really bad. I need a nice camera that video records and has good audio for live band performance. I looked into the Mino HD 8GB Flip, I really liked the upload your own photo thing but it has a lot of downs.

A. Consumer-grade camcorders don’t record audio very well especially music. Most have omni-directional microphones that tend to pick up all sound around the cam, like sound bouncing off walls, etc. And some are not even stereo mics. If your Kodak ZD15 is okay with the video imagery, then use a separate audio recorder which is the best way to record for music video projects. You did not state your budget but something like a Zoom H1 digital recorder ($99.00) and used with a quality microphone is the cheapest option. But better yet, something like the Zoom H4n or Tascam DR100 (both around $290.00). They can use two mics (and the two on-board mics) and the ability to balance up to 4 channels. The important part is the microphone and for a way to adjust the gain, as music will peak and fall throughout the performance, and each instrument has its own unique sound waves. Using ear-muff style headphones will allow you to listen more accurately what the mic(s) is picking up. You may be able to rent a recorder and try it out to see if it will work for you. Check with your local music instrument stores. If you still are leaning towards another camcorder, just make sure it has an external microphone port and headphone port.
Can you take a video camera into a professional musical production in America?
Q. I have taken a video camera into other productions such as bands when they play in Australia. But Im going to Seattle to see the musical cats. What are the laws with this type of thing?
A. I live in seattle and most of the time with these shows they will say before the production "Please no photography or recording". So it is illegal, i don't know what the charges would be, but id just say don't do it. Have fun, that's one of my favorite musicals.

A. 1. no you can no expand the memory but after you load the and save the vids on to your computer you can delete them from your flip and record more vids.
2. you dont charge the flip you use 2 AA batteries and the last pretty long depending on how often you use it.
also once you load the vids onto your computer you can edit things out of each vid and then you can combine thevids to make a movie and you can add music to your vids.
here is an example of some vids from the flip that i made.
