I agree with Andrew, recordings are rarely mentioned for id puposes, let alone
offered.
Lots of compact cameras do video too, and audio notes, and have done for a long
time. But do they allow for an external microphone? Mine doesn't, does your
SLR, David?
Lots of phones can record audio these days too, and ought to be able to take an
external microphone. Has anyone tried this?
