Wind tunnel

Part of the new design is a shallow, angular crevasse running the length of the top of the camera, where the microphone lives (that tiny dot near the power switch). While shooting movie clips, wind noise was quite severe, sometimes obscuring my commentary entirely. I suspect that was partly caused by the wind whipping down that aerodynamically friendly channel and right over the pinhole mic.
