Anyone get this yet?  Thinking about grabbing it for my Canon HFS200 - I have the 5.1 mic for it, but then sold my shotgun mic before I realized that not many programs can edit 5.1 sound yet....

What are you editing with? Sony vegas allows 5.1 mixes.Maybe download the trial and check it out.

You can use it and other windows programs by using  Boot camp. You make a seperate partition on your hard drive and do a dual boot of windows and your mac operating system.

yeah I already have Window 7 on it, I just like to use OSX....... ;)

plus even though the mic is 5.1, this Rode mic is probably higher quality than the Canon 5.1
