That is the opposite of my experience. Even multi-camera
productions of live music are quite easy to "pull-up" the
video to match the audio track. Especially for short shots
such as the OP is suggesting, using a separate sound recording
seems like an excellent way of working around the problem of
a camera without a mic input. I use that very technique quite
regularly.

I agree. A suggestion: for each scene/take, use the
old-fashioned film "trick" of using a "clapper" (one
stick hinged on another or on a board that something
can be written on) at the beginning. The closing of the
gap between the clapper parts and the spike in the
audio track from the resulting sound can be easily
synchronized in a high magnification view of the
timeline in a video editor.

The Camcorder you have Is Not very good Quality.

But try it with really good lighting before deciding it isn't
good enough for what you need to do.

Again, I agree. But since YouTube now permits 16x9
"HD" (well, kinda.....;-) images that are surprisingly
decent, it may be worth, at least eventually, an HD
camcorder to shoot this (especially if reasonably
high quality stills are to be included).
