Rode Videomic and Rode Videomic Pro Compared
Vimeo user Carl has posted some videos comparing the Rode Videomic Pro [$229] with the Videomic [$149] and a lavalier mic.
Listen and let me know what you think. From my own conclusions there is quite a difference. I recommend you turn up the volume up on your computer/tv to compare the two. There is a distinct loudness and hiss to the VP but that has disappeared from the VMP, albeit making the VMP much quieter.

Problem with the Canon EOS E1 plug-in for Final Cut Pro
Jeremy Garchow explains a problem with the plug-in, and a possible work-around.
Basically, the log and transfer plug in will not restore a project if the file path has changed from the point of the original log and transfer. The E1 plugin can't recognize the clip and volume names through log and transfer, especially if you have renamed/logged the clips in the L&T window to something useful.
