Subj: Audio -Voice overs

If you need to record some audio to insert onto some video footage (real 
estate agent talking (audio) about the houses he has for sale (video), but 
the client cannot come to the studio, what is the most economical way of 
getting it done?  Do you go over with your camera (SVHS lets say) and record 
the audio onto a tape using a Mic or do you simply bring an audio recorder 
(cassette) and record it to that and then plug the output of that into your 
mixer later?  Just curious as to how some of you pro-video'ers do it.
Also, does audio sound better when recorded to a SVHS tape in SVHS mode 
compared to say a standard VHS tape?
And last but not least, what are some of the best 3 chip camera's out there 
that are reasonably priced?  I would like something that is a big step up in 
quality over my Panasonic AG455, but not a big step up in cost.  I would 
eventually be using this with the Video Flyer from newtek so I would like to 
get some real good quality out of it.
Oh, and I was told by somebody that when I read that a SVHS camera displays 
up to 700 lines of resolution, it is talking about display, and not recording 
in 700 lines of resolution.  Could somebody calrify this for me?  Is this 
true?
