i'd say the audio quality is satisfying, you can adjust the volume of the mic manually.

have a look on my YT channel, there are clips of 3 metallica shows filmed in 2010.

from my experience, camcorders under 400$ are garbage. If you have 600$, spend 600$ the difference between 300$ and 600$ camcorders is huge. Unless you want blurry footage..

here the price is 700$ xD

any chance to order from ebay or something? you can actually buy new unit from ebay for 200$ (without S/H). But again, most of the filmers I know use Panasonic camcorders, I have nothing against Canon, but Panasonic never let me down and I'll def be looking for Panas when time for upgrade comes :) http://camcorders.reviewed.com/ - very useful site with good reviews.

I would not buy Canon the colour quality is not so sharp than Panasonic. Panasonic rules. Also 2 weeks ago my friend filmed a show and after the show we watched the material and he told that he don't like the colour. But the zoom is great!

So I have also a Panasonic HC-X800. Ok this cam is expensive but it makes great picture! Here some clips which I made:

I would buy Panasonic anytime again!! Sound is great you can hear and you don't need an external mic! You can watch any video clips of mine and you hear nice sound!

childish arguments? watch the quality....

friend also filmed in Landgraaf and Hamburg with Sony and he said next Cam will be a Panasonic!
The question was, which nice Cam to record shows. So and i only told Panasonic HC-X800

And it was only an advise for a good Cam! I only buy good things. But I doesn't care... buy JVC?

It's also important to say that it's not about mark of camcorder only. You have to have skills and knowledge about filming and finding good spot. Well, that doesn't answer the question so much, but don't forget THE VERY IMPORTANT RULE. You need to know how to set up settings. Not always are automatic settings the best. You can have expensive cam and with bad settings your video will be shit and you can have cheap camcorder and you can set up a good settings and the quality will be better. Maybe sharper but colours can be overburnt etc etc. My two cents...
