I am preparing several hiking trips around the world through some of the most brutal terrain on earth. I am looking to make a Survivorman-style one man self-produced documentary as I cross the trails.
As knowledgeable as I am about picking out all of my proper survival gear and clothing, I don't know much about camcorders.
I am looking to spend no more than say, $5,000 on a camcorder. I need something that is relatively lightweight and compact enough to put in my backpack, which will have to compete for room with all of my other gear in there. I will be away from civilization for weeks at a time, so this is the foremost consideration.
I am looking for a more professional-grade camcorder, and sound quality is a must. Also, something that records onto a more compact medium, I won't have the room to deal with tapes.
Any advice on where to look? Resources I should look into? Technology I should research? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
