I've been shopping for video cameras for about three weeks now - and nothing under $500 comes with an audio in for a clip mic - so I can overcome the echoyness of Bob's Kitchen episodes. (sigh) and well - $500 for a hobby camera is a bit more than I care to spend. So now I'm waffling on whether a new Flip Video cam ($150) is worth it to improve the image quality of Bob's Kitchen but still have the sound issues I have in the high ceilings of our kitchen.
