Camera and accesories

[Pierre Tessier]

Hey guys!

I am new here, it is actually my very first post. I am looking for info on what cameras you guys are using and what accesories you have with it?

I currently own a Sony HDV HDR-FX1 and am uncertain about sound and sound quality when recording. Do you use wireless mics, or a simple shotgun?

We are looking to buy another one but this time a Canon Xl2 because it seems better for plugging different microphones at the same time, though the image quality seems a tad bit less interesting than the Sony.

I really like your forum and hope you can help me with some input!
