Honestly with expectation of distribution as it is and budgetary constraints I'd suggest something like

You get decent audio, hd quality and ease in uploading to net.
We use them for scouting in most shows.

Yeah they are portable, handheld and here in states go from $100-200 (looking at websites we have a few more versions then what is on the uk one)

Thanks for the advice Kat, I bought a kodak Zi8, just started experimenting with it.
I think I need to buy a decent mic and sort out a method for recording outdoors.

Here's my first couple of tests, I asked an ex-army friend of mine to describe his basic training during the early 60s. The 2nd video is of him talking about his first assignments and time in Libya.

We really need to sit down and do a lot more, once I've sorted out the what's the best quality and most efficient way doing these youtube videos.

One suggestion: interview young hot bisexual women about their various first experiences.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Isn't going to happen; the young hot bisexual women I know, are somewhat reticent about talking of private matters. 



edit:
Just for the idiots on the forum I'll post the most unnecessary smilie ever need at the end of a languish post -   :P

Good luck mongers. I can ask the audio guys I'm with for some recommendations in mics.
