Thanks for all the help..I just have one more question as someone from anothe furum has confuesed me totaly .
I have found out that there is a stereo mic input so in my book...
I can record two mics in to my mixing desk, then send my mixing desk output to the camera using a stero jack adapter..ok that would mean i would get a true stereo sound.

someone in another furum has said
"Not without some serious jury rigging. It would have to be a y connector and you couldn't keep the channels that separate as I can tell."

does anyone have any feedback on this?

Thanks
gareth
