I want a digital camera that has good audio recording for videos, what should I get?
September 25th, 2009 | 
Author: I currently have a Canon PowerShot SD300 digicam, I like it but the audio is subpar to my ears.
What would be a recommended camera for a person who wants good audio? I don’t just mean sensitive, either, I want a good, smooth, realistic sound. On my current camera, the sound and audio is rough and choppy.
Any suggestions? Or should I even go for a camcorder for superior audio recording?
I have a little Kodak Zi6 HD camcorder, and the audio is amazing! It is the best of any consumer camera that I’ve ever seen. The video is great too. The only downside is that indoors in really dim light it gets a little grainy. I went to a wedding last week. I didn’t care about the video, but I just kept it on to record the band. The recorded sound was awesome.

This is one of my cameras

It does very nice video and audio. It’s a point and shoot and it may be a bit bulky for what you want but the quality is good.
It feels, handles and works much like an SLR so I love the camera.
Good Luck

If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:
