Response to Looking for feedback on Canon's GL1

For those wondering about a BeachTek XLR adaptor for the GL-1, the DXA-4P is the unit designed for the GL-1. I ordered one through Location Sound in North Hollywood for about $200, and it works well. As others have noticed, the camera has absolutly no audio controls except for a 40 db pad - whose design I suppose is to switch between mic level and line level inputs. Unless I have failed to locate one, there is also no visual audio level indicator in the viewfinder, so use of an earpiece or headphone is essential when using an external mic with this camera.
