Q. I am primarily interested in basic filming equipment which would be used to film trips to haunted locations. These locations will often be very dark, so infrared, and decent low-light recording is a must.
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. The only camcorders that have a built-in infrared emitter are made by Sony and have the "SuperNightShot" or "NightShot" feature. If the feature is not listed, then the camcorder does not have the built-in emitter.
There is no consumer camcorder under $1,300 with "decent low light recording" behavior. The lenses and imaging chips are too small.
The least expensive Sony camcorder with an infrared emitter and a mic jack (required for any serious or semi-serious "film making") is the Sony HDR-HC9. As a miniDV tape based camcorder, transferring video (DV or HDV) to a computer requires a firewire cable to connect the camcorder's DV port to the computer's firewire port. USB will not work and USB-firewire converter/adapter/cable things won't work.

What is a good compact camera for recording high-volume, high-definition audio/video?
Q. Hello everybody. Here is the problem I'm having:
I am an enthusiastic concert attendee, and I go to a lot of Metal shows. I also like to record parts of the shows I go to, so I can go back and re-live the experience later. But these shows are LOUD! Around 115-130 decibels, to be more specific. And at that kind of high volume, most camera microphones are overloaded and the resulting videos have sound that is distorted, scratchy, and unlistenable.
What I have tried already:
I have owned a Fujifilm JV-100 in the past, and I currently own a Canon SX-260 HS and neither of these have decent audio. My fiancée's old Sony Cybershot DSC-W50, on the other hand, has great sound quality. The only issue with that is that it's ancient, shoots poor quality photos, and doesn't have full-HD video capability. I'm also not sure if the newer models of Sony Cybershots have the same quality of internal microphone and when I asked a sales representative about this and she was unable to give me an answer.
Limitations:
Using an actual camcorder is out of the question, as is buying an expensive digital SLR. It must be a compact, point-and-shoot camera because otherwise the event staff/venue security deem it a "professional device" and will not allow it inside the concert venues without a press pass, which I obviously do not have. I also cannot use a separate audio recording device, because it is impractical and I need the convenience of all the components (camera, video recorder, audio recorder) in one single device.
What I need:
Simply put, I need a compact, point-and-shoot camera that is capable of shooting in low-light settings, that is capable of recording HD video, and has an internal microphone that doesn't fuzz out at high volumes. I also need it on a budget, which is less than $400.
Please offer me some suggestions for what model camera I should look into buying. I'm tired of wasting my money on cameras that don't work under the rigorous conditions I have described. If there are other metalheads out there who've had the same problem, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

What is the best digital camera for concerts?
Q. I go to alot of concerts, and I need to get a new camera that has the ability to take vibrant picture, despite the low lighting of the venue, and have a fast shutter speed so the pictures don't turn out blurry.
The video on the camera needs to be able to record very loud music, and not turn out like a big growl into the speakers.
Perferably slim-ish, to be able to sneak it into the venues that don't allow it.
Reccomendations?

A. I have the newest Sony Cybershot and it's worked beautifully. I got it for around $200 and the clarity of the music is good and the blurriness is better than older Sony models.
