Hi
Looking for a camcorder (seen Sony CX250 on Amazon) to video school plays.
I usually film from the back to get a good wide view and zoom in when necessary.
Struggle with sound though.
Is there a camcorder with built in mic zoom, do I buy an external mic or perhaps even a wireless mic.
I have seen Sony ECM-HW2 wireless mic which could be placed at the front of the stage but not sure if it will pick up voices several feet away as the mic is a 'clip on'. Would an external mic that you point to the subject be better. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank you
David
