Whats the best Digital Camcorder?

Whats the best way to record dv sound while making a short movie using a digital camcorder?

  • I'm trying to record sound while shooting a short movie. I have a panasonic DVX 100 and would like to buy some audio equiptment to be able to record sound so I don't have to use the camcorder sound... any help is appreciated. thanks siin...

  • Answer:

    You'll want an external shotgun microphone like the Sennheiser K6/ME66, mounted over-head on a boom with a special shock-mount holder, and connected with an XLR cable to the DVX-100 inputs. The Sennheiser is a workhorse and widely used in the industry. This should run you about $500 or so. Its also important to have a boom operator to position the mic over the actors and follow them during each take without creating any extra noise or dipping the mic in to the shot.

I agree with the Senheisser option, but you also might consider using a Sony Mini disc recorder or if you have a bigger budget a DAT tape recorder to record your audio. Check out the Audio section at DV.com Tony
