"Poor Review"
Pros: Indie Films
Cons: None observed.
Summary: Sorry, but a camera being reviewed bt someone who really doesnt know production methods. If you are a serious or aspiring film maker, we all know it is essential to get a seperate sound system set up - this can be done for only a few hundred dollars or even cheaper second hand or if u just get a sound guy to collaborate with you. Improvise too - a broom handle is as good as any boom for a mike. Never rely on the camera mike unnless it's for some synching for editing purposes. Innovative lighting (black and white shades are cheap), remote sound system and never touching 'automatic' can give you a cinematic quality production. No serious indie film maker should rely inbuilt mikes. The FX 7, for the price, is a superb film makers tool. At $3500 it's designed for the more serious filmmaker and not the hobbyist.

The points made about XLR are valid. If you want to run a nice wireless system, or a cabled mic the XLR function is key. There are after market adapters available that I'll be purchasing for mine. I also have JVC GV 300U which had very good control over 2 XLR inputs as well as the onboard mic.
