Considering DILC for video

So the bottom line is there's a growing community of videographers who want a "film look," and there's a new crop of still image cameras that now shoot HD video. I'm thinking I might go this route, but i need to find a camera that supports an external mic.

OK. I totally predicted this one even as far back as the times I was with Laureate. Notice they're in large part dumping the traditional news crew and bringing on the SoJos (solo journalists, backpack journalists.)

(1) They changed the music industry with the iPod.
(2) They changed the smart phone industry with the iPhone.

I now predict they are on the verge to make another big move: changing the game on the book, newspaper and periodical industries with their upcoming tablet/pad.
