To answer your question directly:
Sony HDR-SR11, HDR-SR12
Panasonic *might* have one or two; Canon has none.
Because the crowd noise and possibility of a band or other loud audio, hard disc drive based camcorders are not recommended for your stated environment. The vibration from that loud audio can cause the hard drive heads to park and no video will be recorded. This is a known problem with hard drive based camcorders. So is high altitude, but we won’t go there at the moment…
Flash memory and miniDV tape based camcorders do not have this problem with vibration. For standard definition, flash memory, the Canon FS10, FS11 and FS100 have a mic jack; Flash memory camcorders save to the same file formats used by hard drive camcorders. For high definition or standard def miniDV tape, the Canon HV20 and Sony HDR-HC9 meet your requirements. These are all “least expensive” – the issue is getting amic jack – most camcorders do not have this. There are more cameras that cost more that have audio-in capabilities.
For prices, there are two kinds – the ones you can buy and know you will get what you pay for or potential scams. Do comparison pricing – if the price looks too good to be true, it probably is. I have found B&H Photo and Adorama are reputable online dealers. Check at the CNET camcorder forum for horror stories on certain scam sites.
DVD camcorders are useless. Don’t waste any time on them.
