Does anyone have experience shooting with it? You can find them pretty cheap, but I'm seeing a little bit of feedback on the web that says the tend to get buzzy sounding with age. Anyone experienced this?

You can't cheap out on sound, the number one problem with "no-budget" indie flicks is SOUND! Everyone buys these nice cameras and then they cheap out on a mic or use the camera mic. Remember, sound is 50% of the experience. Sennheiser is good, and AT is a good, more affordable option.

A good mic is an investment. It will last longer than your camera - why skimp?

Agreed. The more I researched it, the more it looked like a bad idea. Thanks for the input. :yes:
