I am trying to differentiate my product from every other photographer in my area, by adding sound bytes and video clips captured during the day in my presentation to my client (ie the now traditional DVD slideshow). As I will be using my DSLR to capture the video clips and don't plan to carry any more gear than I need, audio captured along with the video will be useless to me.

I want to capture specific audio in the room, there maybe an amplified system but I will not have access to it. I will be moving around the room myself so can't pay much attention, but I could set it up in advance in a static position close to the source, on a table close by or even hanging off a lighting stand I may have set up in the room.

Hmmm Zoom's unit seems much better than what I was looking at before, better price too, but still very pricey for what it does ???

Cheers

Cris.
