Hello!
I bought a Sony HC-52, which unfortunately doesn't have a jack for an external microphone input. I record enough that I'd like to use external mic audio to improve my videos, but as I stated the camera has no mic input. I was looking at digital voice recorders that I could use with the microphones I already have, and I was wondering if anyone would advise this route as a way to achieve better audio. I know that it would require synchronizing the video and audio, but I feel that the extra work would be infinitely more worthwhile if it achieved better audio.
