I have repeatedly posted notes on this site about the horrific audio quality of all TRV-950's on board mic.

Rick,

You can get an adapter from BHPhotoVideo that raises the mic up about 2 inches.

This will help.

2. Someone buys the HC-1000 with the surround mic.
3. Someone buys the HC-1000 with...

Humberto,

Drop the TRV-950 in the trash and acquire the Canon Optura Xi.

Sounds like the autofocus system to me.

Robin and all,

To check, turn off the autofocus and...

Good job on the specs. I think there is no question that the luminance channel will be constructed from ~ 1MP (as opposed to today's SD cameras of ~0.38MP).

Thanks for the reply on sales. I guess the Panasonic outselling the new HC-1000 makes sense to me. That's the way I would go to.
