Q. I want to purchase a hard drive based digital camcorder with an audio in to attach an external microphone. Budget is around 400 dollars, any ideas?
A. For $400? does not exist... also, be aware that if you want to record loud audio, you will need manual audio controls... without it, the audio ato-gain circuit will still get overloaded making the audio sound bad - even if you have the best mic available.
The least expensive camcorders with manual audio control and a mic in jack are the Canon HV20, HV30, Sony HDR-HC7 and HC9. They are miniDV tape based camcorders.
The Sony HDR-SR11 and SR12 have a "Low" mic gain setting made for loud environments - but they are way outside your budget.

A. If you are using the current version of iMovieHD08, then any of them, but there are extra steps to get the video into the computer and the cheap HD cams provide poor quality video unless:
1) the camera does not move and the subject moves only a little;
2) the lighting is perfect (no low light - ever... at all);
and
3) the audio is perfect (not too loud and not too soft).
And your Mac needs to be an Intel-chip Mac.
Actually, I should be saying that there is no high definition camcorder in that price range that anyone should waste their money on. The least you should be looking at is the Canon HV30 or Sony HDR-HC9.
