hi, thinking of using this camera, as far as picture goes i think i'll be more than satisfied, but i'm wondering about sound. anyone ever work with this camera and care to critique it's sound charactaristics/capabilities with me. any mike/preamp/mixer recommendations w/ this camera, or is it good to go.

thanks,
J.J.

It has quite good sound. Jay Rose say's it is OK too when he did his first test of DV camcorder sound. Check his article in DV Mag.

I've used a DSR-500 twice and had great sound from it.

thanks mike, just what i wanted to hear.
