I'm a little new to 'prosumer' equipment. This Cannon HD camcorder is so close to broadcast HD video. Beautiful High Def pictures and very nice audio. I bought the Pro Rodes external mic and that is a very nice improvement for the audio. The 'mini advanced shoe' on the Cannon was not able to accept the Pro Rodes mic, so there is an adapter available.
Uploading clips to the computer couldn't be easier. Just plug the SDHC stick into a reader and they are in the computer for Sony Vegas editing. The files are AVCHD.
There will always be issues with these tiny cameras and shaking. The image stabilizer in the Cannon is not as good as my JVC. So those camera stabilizer devices will help for constant moving camera shots or a tripod for long steady shots, using the remote control. I ordered a Hague stabilizer from the U.K. and it helps with steady professional results.

RS120 Wireless Headphones
Very nice improvment over an older Advent wireless system. Every time I would turn my head using the Advent there would be a swishing sound. The transmitter was close by me. The Sennheiser no artifacts at all. Nice clear audio and reasonable Bass response. Not as pronounced as the Advents, but minus the swishing sound. Very happy and Ebay was cheaper than Amazon on this one. Funny Amazon told me there was a recent price reduction of the Sennheiser.
