<p class=MsoNormal>Dear all, I have received excellent advice from this
listserv before and am hoping that I can count on you once again to steer me in
the right direction. Our well-loved and used camcorders and microphones
are just about to be retired and we are seeking to replace them. This
seems to be more difficult than in past years as some of the features that we
count on are no longer available on many models. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We collect all of our data in infants’ homes, so
mobility and dependability are of great importance. In the past, we have
used miniDV camcorders with wireless microphones plugged into the
camera’s audio input jack (the microphone itself is positioned at
shoulder level on the baby hidden in a vest worn over the clothes and the
receiver is mounted on the camcorder). This has yielded very good
recordings. As we’ve looked at new camcorders (miniDV), we’ve
noticed that many no longer have the microphone jack, which is a big
problem. So, I am wondering if any of you have recently purchased video
and audio equipment that you like and find reliable that you could
recommend. Since our sessions all involve fairly unstructured play and
interaction, we need cameras that aren’t too heavy and will still record
good images in low lighting situations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We recently purchased new microphones which seem all right,
but the microphone itself is quite large and has been the object of much
exploration by little hands. So any suggestions for wireless microphones
that will interface with a miniDV camcorder would also be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for your help! I will post a
summary of your responses to the list.<o:p></o:p></p>
