I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean that you need to connect an "external lens"? Do you mean that you need to replace the lens with a different one -- like an SLR in photography -- or that you need to connect the camera to another camera and use the camera as just a recorder -- in which case you might do better just buying a dedicated recorder. In any case, check www.bhphotovideo.com and you'll see what generally available. However, it seems to me that your budget might be a little low. |

I don't really understand what you want-do you want a camcorder with external mic input(these are at the higher end-maybe above 500 euros), but why, since all good camcorders have excellent stereo mics and can record cd quality sound.If you mean an A/V input, so that you use the camcorder as an ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter)so you may convert a VHS cassete to DVD, then that's a different story, most good mini DV camcorders have that.What do you mean by external lens?

If there is ambient noise, the on-camera mikes pick that up also. A remote mike on a cable, or a wireless mike, picks up speaker with much less noise than on-camera mikes.

HTH, -- Tzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering mechanized infantry reservist hordad AT otenet DOT gr- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - my requirement is to use the camera mainly as a point and shoot to capture family video etc but the analouge in is to attach a remote lens and mic so the camera cn be mounted inboard in safety in the f2 sidecar i race and the external lens can be mounted on the fairing and the mike near the exhaust. hope this makes my requirements and usage more clear. i have decided on mini dv due to the vibrations on the sidecar which may cause a dvd or hard drive to jump. thought about just a recorder but want to use the camera for family stuff too. |
