@17 - Compatible with a variety of optional accessories using cold shoe
mount, such as external strobe, video light, microphone, etc.” techie found the shoe mount mention. I was talking about a direct mic in without optional junk.

Really, no mic in? The 720p version has mic in. Grr. Guess I won’t be upgrading then.

Seems like John doesn’t realize what he writes and has never even used the camera.

Does it have external microphone support? That is THE one feature missing from most of these cameras. Without it sound almost always sucks.

Michael,

Can you post those talking points you were given? I’d love to see how close they are to the WSJ article you linked to!

I for one like seeing crunch gear reviews when news is stagnant. Please it’s a good way to get some crossover action.

@4: more people reading CG is always a good thing… as their prizes only get better as traffic increases!
