Excellent article, David. I love the historical perspective and learning about our “audio roots”. Back in our school days at Temple Univ, David was “the audio guy”; many years before I became a professional sound mixer.

I was using the Canon 5D forever. I traded it and still thinking about what kind of Camera I should get. Until then I have actually used my iPhone at tradeshows for short video clips and I am very impressed with the quality. I wonder what kind of Mic I can get to boost the sound quality and what kinds of editing filters are available. I know people are thinking Red, Blackmagic, JVC, Sony but at this point, I am thinking the best camera is the one I have with me at the time I need to shoot something.
