Need advice on camcorder options to record speeches and seminars?

I am in the market for a camcorder (right now, I'm looking at the Canon MiniDV ZR800) for recording speeches and seminars. It must have an external microphone jack. My question is a 3-parter: What budget-conscious recommendations do you have? Is the Canon ZR800 a good buy? And will any external mic work with pretty much any camcorder that has the jack? Thanks.

    Look for a camcorder with "good" low-light capabilities since speeches and seminars are generally indoors.
