I like to think season 1 of War on Fish is a pretty good example of just what is possible with a couple of cheap cams and a few free programs, but it's also a pretty good highlight of the limitations. It doesn't take much wind for the audio issue to rear it's head and relying on in-built handy-cam audio is always going to be more limited than a seperate audio recording system.
