After applying the patch,everything now works fine,amazing what a little code can do,the mic sounds perfect..and even after being dropped a few times it still functions normally.This camera should not have been released without this patch.That said..I love this camera,and with the addition of a third party magnetic wide angle lens,it makes this a camera a must have .

Interpolated 5 meg is default interpolated to 8 meg? I believe the low light is poorr but better than the MPVr models, but not as best as the GO-HD? If you seen the GO in action than you have a choice a A-Hd at 150.00 or the got at 230 plus I choose the A-HD with the AV input over the Go-HD it is a great camcorder in my eyes?
