Very noobish question:
I have access to 2 canon xl2 cameras, a lav mic, and a shotgun mic that plug into the camera.
So from reading these boards it sounds like most of you record sound on a device that is completely separate from the camera? And then you sync the sound up in post? Is that right? What kind of device do you use? Can someone give me a link or a name for me to google?
Also, what are the reasons for not just recording sound in the camera? Is the quality that poor? Or does it depend on the camera? Anyone have experience with recording sound on an xl2? Is it adequate?
I guess that's a lot of questions so I'll shut up now and wait for replies. Thanks in advance.
