You can get a cheap HD video camera these days, and quality is really not that much of an issue on YouTube like it is on the FCC regulated broadcast television networks.
You can still put together a video portfolio for a TV station, should you want to work at one, using a consumer camera, but the most important thing to remember about consumer video cameras is that they mostly neglect the audio technology by forgetting to add an audio input jack on the camera.
There are a few consumer cameras that have audio input jacks, specifically, the 1/8 inch stereo phono plug.
You need to have one for an external microphone that has better quality and can be placed more accurately where you want it. You especially need a camera with an audio input jack if you want to use a mixer with a wireless audio transmitter, especially if you are recording live performances.
