Are you currently running audio out of M10's into a camera? I'm wondering whether to run an attenuator cable out of the m10 into my camera, but aren't sure what level of attenuation is needed?
The 60D seems to solve this by offering an adjustable level out to the camera.
What's the benefit of running audio into the camera directly as opposed to letting the camera record the room and then syncing the audio recorder and the camera audio later?
For existing 60d users, any comments on how well the 60d appears to hold sync with your camera?
yes I am running from my m10 into a canon r300 and before that a zr800
100% use line out and not headphone out. I learned the hard way last week that the headphone out is way to noisy and ended up with just static overall.
I had to use a -20db attenuating Cable with the zr800, no questions asked.
With the r300 I have a meter on screen and with the cable and without the cable the meter doesn't change visually but on playback the audio is slightly lower with the attenuating cable in the chain.
I thought the cable might have been broke but it clearly drops the signal if I run headphone out. I have no clue why line out it isn't dropping the signal though. I actually will prob start a thread asking about it.
The advantage is not having to synch in post which can be a total pain. Even when it's not a pain it still saves time.
The dr60d appeals to me because I can have an out designed to go into a camera/camcorder plus the added benefit of level adjust if need be as backup.
I just wish I could get one as a trial to test the sound vs a m10
