[image:blog_post:12702]One of the most common things I hear when people are on vacation is, Oh, I’ve got a really nice camera at home, but I didn’t want to lug it around.

Plus, with an external mic input and manual level adjustments, it’s got the ability to get high quality audio with the right setup.
