I am suprised there hasn't been much discussion about this, but the PD 100 has an intrinsic problem that SONY has not figured out how to fix. When you use the XLR adapter, it does not cut off the camera mic, so that there is additional noise...quite a large problem for me. I sent it back once, and they apologetically told me that they realized the fix doesn't work, and they will call me soon to help me further. Please email me if you have any similiar problems.
