Kevin,

Almost everyone will tell you that the built-in mics of ALL cameras are very poor.

So, if you don't need the low light capablity of the PD170, then get the FX1, and buy a decent used mic for $100-$200. One that is often recommended by the pro audio guys is the AT897. If you want to go a little cheaper, the Azden SGM-1X or SGM-2X are decent.

For more info/opinions about these mic, search the forums.

Just to be sure; are you sure those Mic's are actually compatible with the FX1, baring in mind that the FX1 doesn't have XLR inputs. Or are they XLR Mic's?

This may require tha additional expense of a break-out box. Ex: BeachTech DA-4.
