So is there a way to not get the cam to record audio or later when I sync the external audio to the footage can I just pull the footage only? I just don't want to end up with crappy camera audio mixed with good external audio and trying to figure out how to avoid that. I am also very much up for camera suggestions. Thanks!!!
i'm not really sure what you mean by the first part of the first sentence. if you don't want to record audio, what do you want it to record instead silence?
when you transfer the video from your comp, you can put it in a video editor and pull the audio then. likewise you could seperate the video from the audio and do what you will with the audio. camera suggestions, we'll you're gonna have to make a few decisions on whether you want a small camera, big camera, large zoom, small zoom, spend a lot of cash, spend not so much cash.
