Very nicely done, Fran.
Since the fisheye of the Sony is so hard to watch I found the Canon Vixia to be SO much better. Once you coupled the Zoom H1 mic to it I found the combination to be very nice. After the improvement in video coupled with a pretty decent audio I think it would be very difficult to go back to a "music" camera.
I do understand that your camera of preferance is a bit higher up the food chain, but this is a close second.
I thought you had a self-powered Rode N4? That seems like it might work really well for getting good audio into the camera. I'm also curious if the camera itself has any self-limiting or compression on the audio input, although I didn't hear any artifacts from the short demo.
Thanks again for your hard work!
