Yeah, nice to hear from Mike again!
No probs with the cam itself till now?
I had some strange sound glitches on capture appart from the few times 'morning due' warning. I haven't researched more though to see if it is not PC problem.

I also saw the new 10W light - it's really needed accessory especially if you have spare batteries.

And Mike - how do you deal with the mic/remote shared port - do you use external mic in your work? Cam mounted?

Sorry for shifting the topic again ;) just want to hear from somebody who uses our cam for pro work!

I use wireless mike during ceremony for exchange rings only.

Everything else cam's mike (whole day)

I don't use remote since it gives only one speed zoom against slow/fast zooms on camera.

Last Saturday (in the church) I didn't even bother with black mamba, it was too dark.
Just grabbed my trusted Sony VX 1000.

I'm doing this for 8 years and become lazy:)
No lights for church - which I can do with Sony VX 1000

No mikes (before I used shotgun mic)

Black mamba dosen't give me back pain :)

I'll write more in depth reviews about 6 events I did and what happened later
now this course is taking all my time
