How good is the standard ECM-NV1 microphone delivered with the PDX10 compared to most built-in mics?

Jan,

very interesting site for investigating the PDX10.
I just had a look at some of your samples but could only view the real-player examples, since I use Mac OSX and your Windows Media clips don't play with WMP7 (WMP 9 is not yet available for Mac).

I saw a special accessory at your links section, the warmcards, do you use them?

Bjørn,
1.
I don't have a Mac so it is good to know that you cannot seethe movies. I thought so because of the special site for Macintosch on MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=25ca4358-4cda-4dc5-a5ec-c459958be0ac&displaylang=en
They don't sya which version is for Mac.
I thought the Win Media player would automatically download the needed codec.

2.
I don't use the warmcards myself. Till sofar I didn't need them.

3. Did you hear the church-video with the build-in mics?
did you like it?
I came from outside and my fingers where frozen and i did not have a tripod with me and the cam was new to me. That can be seen:~). But the scene was so cute that i could not resist to place the video.

Jan,

question about the church video clip in your site.
did u use built-in stereo mic or the mic (ECM-NV1) came with ur pdx10?
just wondering. ^-^

Erik,

Yes I did use the build-in stereo-mics.
They perform very well as you can hear. (The sound on the Internet is with FM quality - no CD-quality!)
The stdrd unidirection-mic is even better.

I was walking around and accidently found the choir exercising in the Church for Christmas.
It was very cold, I had froozen fingers and no tripod. The cam was totaly new to me, so I had difficults to find the right buttons and no good grip on the cam yet, which obviously can be seen. I used the pews to fix the cam a bit.

But the scene was so cool!
They had only 2 days left to go and perform better :-)

^_^
