I know several people who do live music performances at local venues... and one band in particular is interested in having me take video of them and upload it to YouTube. I took video of them a few months ago and just uploaded it... the quality is decent as it was taken on my regular digital camera.. but I'm looking for a camera that's primary function is to take video, not still photographs. Looking for something under ~$150... thank you!
I had been considering the Flip, however I am concerned about (a) the sound quality, especially since I'm going to be recording live musical performances and (b) I don't like how I'm limited to only 60 minutes of recording time on the internal memory card.

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.
Is the cannon sd1000 a better choice?
I need help.

Consumer-grade camcorders donât 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.
