so glad to hear someone mention the sound issues on the Xacti HD. I have had a TERRIBLE time with sound.
Especially with external mics (which was my main motivation for buying it.). The size rocks. But the sound bugs me and the auto WB is worse than my cheap canon digi-cam. But the truth is, it is awesome for travel when "BEST QUALITY" is not a requirement. -jHalcyon pinkbroadcasting.com On 7/8/07, ryanne hodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > just got my hands on the E1 newest waterproof xacti > i actually really love it. > great in low light > the best sound of a xacti yet > i have the first (?)
