I've got a sony min-DV camcorder,


That can be plugged into the pc and downloaded and the sound quality is great, picture quality is good too.


(Thats with the built in microphone)


Wasn't very expensive i dont think

Cheers for the help!
been after one for a while and the exhaust recording is a good enough excuse
what format does it use on the PC? mpeg?
