thanks for the review. i am looking to purchase this camera for multimedia use for my news website. what are you experiences with the audio on this camera using external mics like the one you show here? what about audio editing? does the camera have an audio level mixing or adjustment feature?
The audio with external mic works fine ... Always better than the internal mic, and the shoe on top helps to clip on a mic receiver. However the internal mic is adequate for ambient sound and very acceptable for close up voice (1-2 feet) from in front or behind. (I covered it with thin felt membrane to reduce wind noise.) Yes, there is a crude on-screen volume meter and gain controls of +/- 1,2,3 as well as earphone volume control. I wouldn't travel without this camera.
