Well, you kn ow as well as I do that the worst place for a mic is on board - and especially the cheap shit rubbish they supply with most cameras. Even my HM100 came with the most awful crap mic. I replaced it with an ATR-75, but for anything worthwhile the 416 is ready to go :) The problem with most people shooting (DSLR or otherwise) is that audio is a mystical add-on that one hopes will turn out alright 'in the end'. Then the last part of post production happens, the final sound mix, and the recriminations start! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
