I have many hours on mine, with AT822 microphone, raynox HD-6600PRO-52 wide angle lense and the adapter ring. Its an excellent pro-sumer camera, many good reviews. Produces great HD wide screen video and 24p if so desired. If it had the optics and mic of my retired GL1, it would be perfect. Some complain about background camera noise introduced into the audio. An external mic is a good accessory. To get better video you need to go to pro cameras.
