The Canon Elura I ordered recently was delivered today! It’s so much smaller then I thought it was. It fits nicely in my palm and all the controls seem to be easy to work. I need to figure out some of the settings but I think I should be able to figure them out. The light works really well and adds just enough when you need a bit more light. I haven’t tried the microphone jack yet though. The manual says it needs a mic that has it’s own power so I might need to invest in an external mic to use with the video camera. Anyone have experience with external mics for video cameras? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can now begin to crank out more videos for the blog.
