Panasonic AG-DVC60 Sound Question

   Hi, I'm very new to video and need some advice. I just purchased the Panasonic AG-DVC60 Mini DV cam. The video looks great and the built in mic sounds great when shooting very close. My problem is, It has 2 XLR inputs on the back of the camera, I used an old sure mic into channel one but when I reviewed the shot, it had tons of noise, was in mono and sounded horrible. I know the mic sounds good, I've used it through a tascam porta studio and edited in adobe audition.
   
   This cam has, 2 XLR's Chan 1 and Chan 2,
   1, 1/8 jack, S-vidio and also stereo in/out jacks. The white and red ones... like on a DVD player.
   
   What should I Use? I currently have a Beringer 2 condenser mic but it needs phantom power. Would this mic work for a boom?
   
   Please, any advice would greatly be appreciated.
   Also, the footage I'm shooting is for local commercials.. so it's important the sound is clean.
   
   Thanks

   If you're shooting commercials, for crying out loud, do hire a video pro at least to help you get started. Your mic issue is likely to be merely a scratch on the surface of issues you're going to run into. There's more to audio than getting the right mic hooked up correctly and there's a lot more to video than just the audio.
   
   If you don't already have a marketing pro with TV commercial experience, you're going to need that also.
   
   A business can do more harm than good by creating an amateurish commercial.
   
   Also, if you want to be taken seriously and expect anyone to take the time to give specific advice like this, you really should fill out your profile info.
