Q. It seems like a decent HD camcorder for the price but I can't find any example's of it recording live music so I'm not sure how the audio would come out. Anyone use this camera for that purpose?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. Unless it has a microphone jack and recording level control, no, it's not good for recording live music at all. Cheap consumer-grade camcorders are generally a bad idea for audio recording.
In a controlled recording situation (e.g. at home) you could try using a separate audio recording device (a computer with audio recording software and a quality microphone) and record every take with a clapperboard. You would have to re-synch audio and video track later in a video editing program (not Movie Maker, obviously).
If you are thinking about taking a camcorder to a live concert, it will mostly record the audience around you, and the music itself will be like background noise.

What kinda of video camera should I buy?
Q. I am somewhat on a budget, but I will pay for quality. I am mainly wanting it to record live music in bars, so I want something that can handle that much noise clearly.
This part is not necessary but I'm going on a canoe trip soon, so if there is one I can take down the river too, that would be awesome. But I don't want to sacrifice video/sound quality just for that.

A. Live music = loud = camera or camcorder needs some sort of audio gain control. I would also expect that these would be night scenes - or poor indoor lighting. Hopefully, there is stage lighting for the performers.
Canoe trip = waterproof. Generally, there are housings available for waterproofing, so I think the long-pole is the audio control.
Step 1: Set a budget.
At the low end, there's the GoPro Hero or something from the Canon HF R line. With the GoPro's using an external digital audio recorder like a Zoom H1 and synching audio when editing the video. With the proper camcorder like the Canon HF R series, then use the "attenuator" mic setting for loud audio and a waterproof "bag". The camera is not expected to deep in the water, so an expensive deep-water housing is not needed. I think the Ewa Marine VLA would fit most of the Canon HF series camcorders. Sony has its line of underwater housings for Sony camcorders so any of the HDR-series cams can work for both your needs... Another angle is the Zoom Q3HD and not use it while canoeing (but after landing).
