What's a good camcorder for recording at a concert?

Q. I'd like HD quality (at least 720 pixels), but as long as the video quality is good.
My main focus is the audio quality. There will be A LOT of screaming.

Never been to a concert before but I wanna be prepared.

What camera do you use when you want to record at a concert? :)
They don't sell DVDs..?

A. Sony HDR-CX260V High Definition Handycam 8.9 MP Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom and 16 GB Embedded Memory (Black) (2012 Model)

What kind of camera and speed was used to film this rap video?
Q. I'm trying to find the exact specifications on replicating a video of this quality in 2012. What speed, lens, or camera would allow me to do this?

here is the youtube link to the video:

Capone n Noreaga, Mobb Deep, Tragedy - L.A L.A

A. Hi Joelvan, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:

This 1996 music video could have been made either with film cameras or video cameras. Several lenses were used (you can tell when the "fisheye" or wide-angle lens shots come in). Depending on the budget for the production crew, film would have probably been the most cost-effective medium for all the different locations used, considering what the cost of good camcorders was back then and the difficulty in finding changeable lens kits (although screw-on front fisheye adapters might have been used with a stock video camera lens).

The high-contrast black & white effect could have been done with film stock or with a B&W video effect. (Same thing can be done today with either a video camera setting or in the editing process.) The "gamma" of film can be altered or a grainy high-contrast look in video achieved to yield what you see in the final music video.

For a modern version of this production, shot in 4:3 screen ratio (not widescreen HD), you'd want a good miniDV, Betacam, or DVCAM tape-format camcorder with changeable lenses (or decent threadable front filter-mount fisheyes for those scenes). A standard 10x or 12x zoom lens would handle the other shots. I'd shoot either regular 30fps video on an older camcorder, or 24p or 30p on a newer camera that has changeable frame-rate settings. I'd also shoot in full-color, waiting until post production (editing) to subtract the color and alter the contrast.

hope this helps,
