Sean - One other item to consider - expectation management. Most people who have grown up with video have very high expectations when it comes to video quality and sound. What a lot of people don't realize is how much effort it takes to get quality sound. Great equipment (read expen$ive), Foley stages, Foley artists - the time and effort is staggering. Bottom line is that it could be some time before (or perhaps never) we get the same level of audio quality with affordable equipment that people think just 'comes' with video. -- KenMc - conmara at grandcanyonhiker.com http://www.grandcanyonhiker.com See our new video - 'Hiking the Grand Canyon - The Corridor Trails'
