A rare venture in to these regions of the forum for me but i need some help...
I work for a school in the IT dept, our music department are looking for a camera to record their performances as their current camera doesn't cut the mustard for sound or video quality.
I've been recommeneded to connect up an external microphone to the camera to improve audio quality, so a camera with the ability to do that is one requirement, i also need good image quality with the ability to focus will with dim and bright lights, some performances will be recorded from the back of a large hall where the lighting will be changing regularly and some will be taken close up in classrooms.
Problem is the music department have a tiny budget of £200, could probably push it a bit further though. If getting what would be called "good" quality from both sound and audio for that price simply isn't all that possible then feel free to say so.
Thanks for any help with this
If i can't find a sufficient product to cover their needs i know what will happen....my manager will blow that £200 on some useless piece of junk like the £50 mobile phone look-a-like he's praising so much right now which i think is a piece of junk.
