The cam audio has no manual controls. That's very limiting, but for jaw dropping footage... I am tempted.. don't get me wrong here :-) Oh.. i thought the body only was $1,800.

I hear what you're saying, but the costs are not as bad as you think. The 7D
with a kit lens is only about $1800. $1800 for jaw-dropping footage! You can
rent other lenses as you need them, or buy some used ones. Renting a 24-70
and a 70-200 for say a week might cost you $150. You could probably even
find a 3-day rental. Especially for someone like you who primarily does
corporate work, just build those rental costs in. Six years ago I spent
about $3200 for a PD170. For that amount now, you could get a 7D and one or
two decent lenses.

As far as audio, you could use a lav mic with a mini jack to go directly
into the camera in addition to a second audio source. If in post the audio
taken directly to the camera is usable, no syching is necessary. Many
viddeographers use digital audio recorders as back ups anyway. But the Zoom
H4N is a fave among video DSLR shooters. Allows you to monitor audio, has 4
channels, multi formats, and is about $350. Synching in post is not really
all that bas, especially if you use a clapper on set. Heck, it makes you
feel even more like a “real” filmmaker. :)

As far as form factor, there dozens of options available from Zacuto,
Cinevate, IDC Photo and Redrock Micro to make shooting with video DSLRs more
comfortable.

The toughest part for me really is the editing. It's a bear to deal with,
having the first convert the H.264 files then editing them. But, IMHO, the
quality of the footage far, far outweighs the downsides.

I'll try and join in on the webinar. <br><br>What's holding me back from this type of camera? The ergonomics and the audio work flow for video. Also the price. Adding the lens, more video accessories (to aid in ergonomics), external audio capturing device, memory cards and smaller things like batteries, case will add up quickly.

The lack of any serious on board audio was an issue and it will add more work in the edit having to sync audio constantly for the myriad of takes. It is nice to have it all in camera especially for weddings or any live event. Again, the ergonomics to go hand held with video are not there unless you pay extra. Cool Ron!
