FX-7 is a noisy camera. When I bought mine, I sent it back as defective, but was told that the grinding sound was "normal". Now I know why the mic is positioned differently in the more expensive V1...

Turning the image stabilizer off helps a little. Post editing sound with parametric equalizer helps as well. The noise is often concentrated in narrow bands.

The on-camera mic is pretty good otherwise, and I tend to use it despite of the noise level.
