I'm going to see Coldplay at concert again, but last time i recorded videos they came out
really hard to hear and croaky because of how loud it was, so my question is,
What camera (or camcorder) can record good sounds at a concert?
And how much is the price range for camera/camcorder's that do this?
(Before anyone says, you're aloud to take pictures and film it because i've heard people
say it's illegal or something)
Thanks in return
Answer
You need a lesson on camcorder microphones. The standard Consumer level camcorder, HD or SD Microphones, are all the same. They get their best audio to a point about 4 feet from the camcorders microphone. The further than that you move, the audio capture quality diminishes. In a noisy environment, that fall off is near vertical.
So off you got with your camcorder, you get to the concert and your in the 17th row on the floor. The band comes on, you fire up your camcorder and start recording. the concert ends and off you go to your editing program. You get the footage on your computer, view it and this is what your hear. The audios best parts are of the bands biggest fan, sitting right in front of you, singing, talking, foot stomping, yelling and snorting. then the nearer background noises are mostly the same thing. The band, if they can be heard at all, are very faint in the background of the audio.
If you want the best possible audio, do what is required to get a feed from the mixer to camcorders MIC port or a Digital Audio recorder. Be prepared to offer the cable you need to use on their system, this means having many cables at your disposal. Then, because you cannot get to a microphone, have fun syncing the audio and video back together.

Which camcorder has better sound, the Polaroid v130 or Flip Ultra?

I want to get a good camcorder for recording drums and posting videos on youtube and such and these are the two cameras I am down to. Which one has better sound quality?
Answer
Small consumer camcorders don't record sound very well. They have a tendency to record sound that you don't want, like behind the camera and/or at higher frequency noise.
There are two ways to make better audio:
1. Use a good external microphone if the camera has a jack for that.
2. Record your audio with recorder then edit it into your video (best way).
Hint: ever wonder why you almost always see a sound man following a cameraman around on those reality TV shows? That because he can get better audio than the camera can.
