So this camera sort of intrigues me, mostly because I feel like the nature of filming an actual music video makes this camera's function entirely obsolete.
It seems like they attempted to put decent onboard audio mics on a camcorder so people could film 'music videos' with it. However, at least in cases of my personal experience, you're usually just acting out your song when actually filming a music video - the song has already been recorded in the studio.
So, maybe that aspect of this camera is a bit obsolete. However, do you think this camera would be an interesting way to film either live performances, or short films that you don't want to use a separate audio recorder? Personally I'm intrigued by it because it seems like a nice grab-and-go camera. Whenever I shoot something with my DSLR and audio equipment, a lot of hassle is involved. Obviously, hassle = quality, but this little thing intrigues me for just filming quick little things on the go without entirely sacrificing audio.
Thoughts?
