Need Suggestions for a good Camcorder with great sound quality

Still, I encourage you to opt for manual audio gain controls over AGC if you care about sound quality.

AGC for recording a concert is a joke.

I'd take a half decent built-in mic with manual recording levels over a top of the range mic pushed through an AGC any day.

Cheers,
David.

Yes yes...I m getting the canon legria hf m300 which has manual controls....so no agc... and apparently there are also 5.1mics available...one of which is the canon svm rrcommended by canon...heres ther link....http://www.amazon.com/Canon-SM-V1-Surround-Microphone-Camcorders/dp/B0034AJ89M/ref=cm_...pr_product_top
I m ready to shell out 150 bucks for the mic... So what would be my best bet..5.1 right???

well i was just going through the manual and didn't realize that manually managing the audio controls will be so easy...just make sure the audio meter doesnt touch red mark(0 db)....if not just activate the mic attenuater..thats it....plug in headphones and enjoy...cant be simpler...Cant wait to get my hands on it....Now just need to finalize on the mic and get a tripod and a pair of headphones !!! Hurray !
