Sorry Darren - hoped the 'LOL' comment would show I was scraping the bottom of the barrel to find anything to be grumpy about.

Yes, I've been hovering over the 'buy it now' button of the Rode VideoMic Pro, but it's a big wobbly phallus on my little neat camera. Your point about a cheapo $20 radio shack special is well taken. However, thanks to Chad's test, I may have to invest in the Rode.

However, the fold-back reverse angle screen thing is (may I buy you a pint over this) a little tenuous? :-D One can connect up the absolutely necessary Ninja accessory recorder, and simply spin it round to the talent to show them what we're shooting.

I'd take these little inconveniences in favour of awesome run and gun ergonomics.

But I will remain ever so grumpy over losing the intervalometer - I live in hope of a new Firmware upgrade.
