I suggest you check the site above out... it's pretty comprehensive for consumergrade stuff.

I bought an Elura 100 for a second cam a couple of months ago - if anyone can tell me where the SHOE is, I'll be happy. I ended up buying a 35mm-type flash bracket, mounting the cam on it with its (plastic) tripod screw threads, and mounting the external mic on the flash bracket.

The cam does take as good pics as my Elura 65, easy to color match the two with a white card and manual WB in any light so far.

I'd definitely recommend an external mic tho (you WILL need that bracket), there's quite a bit of transport noise that gets into any audio shot with the internal one... Steve
