Matt,
The PD-150, is one of the worst camcorders in terms of sound and you
will have many serious problems of various kind in the future,starting
from buzz,LF distortion ,low playback levels etc
a better bet would be PD-170,
in terms of audio, PANASONIC camcorders scores any day over SONY in any
conditions anywhere.
My two cents
Harry
