i have to say, following this thread, that peoples expectation of a $5k
camera is almost farcical in it's hysteric's....

i have a v1 (having come thru to it via a career in broadcast tv
equipment), and i have to say that yes, the sound is pretty basic, that
yes, they crippled the practicality of separate input levels from one
mic input, buy hey, what did you expect, 96hz audio recording?

as for pointing fingers at 'pre-release' testers, i have yet to read any
mis or disinformation from any of them. then again, i doubt that any
professional cameraman would record anything serious with any of this
class of camera. it's fine for run and gun, vox pop talking heads, etc.,
but in no way would you record any 'commercial' audio on it. that's why
there is a plethora of out board recorders available.....

come on, get a life and shoot like a pro, and stop moaning about crappy
audio that you should have discovered before buying - i hired a v1 and
put it through all that i thought i might throw at it before buying.
sound WAS a disappointment - but i was buying a video camera, not an
audio recorder....
