I am curious. I've noticed that my MX300 runs very silent. I can barely hear the zoom even with one ear right next to the lens housing. How is the MX350 in this regard?

Also, I've found both the MX8 (PV-DV852) and MX500 (PV-DV953) to be very solidly constructed---does this pretty much sum up the MX350 as well?

Bored and curious in Vancouver.

Silent.

The MX350 is very very similar to the MX8, MX300 and MX500, probably the same lens assembly.

Thanks, Yow. There are so many cams that really make a lot of noise which the built-in mics easily pick up. The Optura 200MC was a real buzzer.

I use my DVL9500's quite a bit, but when I use the MX300, I can't hear anything except of the faint muscle of the engine (when recording). That is, when there's no other noise present.

The PV-DV953 runs even more silent---I wonder how that GS100 runs. Tommy?
