Thanks Fran. Very interesting comparison since I have a canon vixa. The sound quality i get is like yours with acoustic guitar and I haven't tried a separate mic.
I think in all these vids on YouTube, I would rather get a better sound than a better picture. I have a Sony pcm10 and need to try your approach with the canon.

How about just an iPhone with a better mic or an iPad? I see many vids with the iPhone that look good and the sound is decent. Not perfect but decent. Adding a quality mic to an iPhone might be the easiest approach. The easier it is, the more likely I will actually do some vids of my acoustics.

I was at the prs factory this summer and they had a studio and were doing demos of their guitars and amp. They used multiple dslr cameras and an AVID interface with few condenser mics. They do a great job with their vids.

The other guy I watch all the time on YouTube is pete thorn. He uses a point and shoot camera with his interface for his electrics. He gets an awesome sound using his universal audio appollo. I think Pete does the best vids with his set up and his gear reviews. His camera approach is simple and also uses his Mac and Apple logic to do them.
