videotaping

[Shanley Allen]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for that information. For SLR, the idea was to buy a Single Lens Reflex camera that also takes video and has an external mic possibility. The advantage of that would be better picture quality by having control over the depth of field. One option is the Sony a55 DSLR camera (model number SLT-A55VL; $850). One could get the same kind of video control with a higher end camcorder like the Canon XA10 high definition camcorder ($2K). What do you think of either of those options?

Best,
Shanley.

If not, you could even consider the top-end Flip Video camera.  I don't know what an SLR camcorder is.  I did a web search for that and didn't come up with anything clear.  Can you provide a model number?
