I submitted a question about the GL1 and then read another reply that stated that the GL1 does NOT have manual audio gain control.(posted 8952 days ago)I returned to the Canon specs on the GL1 and indeed I did not see it stated that audio can be set to manual. All video settings yes. Audio, no.
Is this a serious problem? I've been researching camera and so many people say how crucial good audio is and the best way to ensure you get good audio is to have the option of manaul control with XLR adaptor. Can others speak to this? It seems like the GL1 is perfect at a great price -- but the audio thing bothers me.
I'm now inclined to get the PD100A -- but then there's that 40 minute taping ceiling that bothers me too.
Thanks John
