I need to buy a video camera so i can be able to do some podcasts, maybe a decent looking music video and also video tape my church events.

Is there a good recommendation for a camera? Or/and software?



Answer
It depends on how high up you want to go. I'll stick with the Canon brand, because it's what I know and because they have great color.

For semi-pro level in SD (not HD) start with:
Canon GL1

For just a little more money and a much better picture:
Canon GL2

For vastly better color and low-light handling:
Canon XL1s **highly recommended

If you want to go HD, go for the Canon XH G1.

If these cameras are out of your budget range, look VERY HARD on eBay for a used model. You can get a very good deal. It's how I got my XL1s for less than half of retail. It's still working great for me after 3 years. You can't get good picture and color for less than about $600.

For software, you can try Sony's Vegas Movie Studio 9. It can be had for under $100. It's more advanced than just about anything in its price range.

I personally use and love Final Cut Pro, but it costs near $1000 and requires that you own a Mac.

What video cameras will stream live to an HDTV through HDMI?

My church has an HDTV in the basement. We would like to stream the service to this TV. Looking for a video camera that will output a live feed via HDMI.
