You are right... for most applications the iPhone with an on-camera clap to synchronize the video and audio is more than good enough for most YouTube productions. If you want something more professional (or as you say to use some "real" mics) then there is a solution for that also, though it is not simple (or terribly cheap, although if one was making money from their video I don't think the cost for high quality audio is terribly out of line). http://www.neo-pangea.com/lab/lab/technology/the-canon-7ds-auto-lighting-optimizer-sucks.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
