Zeddock: >>Why an external? Do you need a wireless? That would be understandable, but the A1 IMHO has excellent audio.<< I can best answer by giving you an example of a situation I know I'll be shooting soon. I need to shoot a person grooming a cat (at a professional pet grooming place) while this person talks about what he's doing. His head will be turned different ways at different times, depending on what he's doing. Using the camera mic just wouldn't pick up what I need. I'm afraid it would tend to sound like, well, home video. I really believe the sound quality has a lot to do with how professional the tape seems. Even if the picture's great, I don't want to come across as something shot for public access on cable. David
