The built-in cartioid mic is linked to the zoom lens, so you can stand 20 feet away and zoom in to hear 2 people talking. The audio is CD quality too. The type of videographer that uses this camera knows what they are doing and you can be assured of getting top notch results. S-VHS is used by many videographers. SVHS gives over 400 lines of resolution compared to 240 lines in VHS, nearly double the resolution of the VHS format.
