best video camera for recording church services image
Isaac
I need to know so I can record my church services and later make videos and dvds out of them. I was wondering about the firewire because the camera can only take 19 minute videos at a time and it always is a .MOV file and not a .AVI file (desired). So I want to record it onto my computer instead of the camera memory card. Thanks in advance for your help!
Answer
That I know of there's not a digital camera made that uses firewire - all are usb2

What would i need to wirelessly send audio from sound board to camera about 100 feet away?
Q. I record church services on Sunday and need to get an audio feed from the sound board. The camera is typically set up about 100 feet away. i don't want to run a cable. Is there a way (similar to wireless mics) to attach a transmitter to the sound board and a receiver on the camcorder?
any suggestions on specific device? Thanks!

Forgive me for not providing all of the necessary details.
Currently, we use a consumer-grade, single-CCD digital camcorder, but we will be getting a prosumer 3-CCD camcorder with XLR mic inputs. The sound board has XLR outputs. This would facilitate following "the_dude's" suggestion.
i also use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing so, i could record the audio right at the board and synch it on the PC later, which is "jimbob92065's" answer.
I would need to record the audio from six mics, a drum set and a Conga drum so, a shotgun mic wouldn't acomplish all that with the sound quality i'd need. thanks all for your answers...

Answer
There are a few ways to accomplish what you would like to do. However, without knowing the specifics of your board and your camera, it's a little difficult to offer advice.
I assume you're looking to get the audio onto the tape (or whatever media your camera uses) while you record the service?
That being the case, you can easily use any wireless transmitter and receiver (Shure manufacture great product, as does Samson) as long as you have compatible output from your board (1/4 TRS or XLR is most common) and feet it to the transmitter.
The receiver would need to connect to an audio input on your camera; without knowing what sort of camera you have, I can't tell you whether or not this is possible. If you have any sort of TRS input (most folks call this a "phono plug") you can purchase adapters to accomodate difference in size (most likely you'll have a 1/8" input if any)
If you have the neccessary inputs/outputs, you could even use a wireless guitar setup.
The other option you have is to record straight from the board and sync the audio with the video using relatively inexpensive software and your PC. This method will offer you the most flexibility, as you will be able to mix levels at your convenience, rather than "on the fly"
