looks like you painted the external mic. no offense, but you did a poor job. you also painted the raised lettering red on the camera body. interesting. good tips, btw.

@SickSickCix lmao, yea i know. later on i blacked out the lettering all around the camera too. i wanted to blackout the camera mount, but, the paint is just gonna chip off right away. the red lettering looks cool though and its easy with a fine tip Sharpie Paint.

How do you change the ISO by simply clicking on the left size of the click wheel? Is there any specific configuration I need to set up on the settings menu in order to be able to do that?

[JogBird]

@jidenshaotoko Settings > Custom Key > Right Button .... there are a bunch of ways you can set it up.

@simon44 canon might release 650d this month, so wait for it, it has 5 times faster processor then previous canon 600d.... and much more new stuff in it... so wait for it.. :D

@onlywhenpissed I'll say you should go for Sony nex 5n.

First of all, It's a quality japan technology "Sony"..

Second, Nex 5n is really impressive for a compact camera because it uses the same Sensor for SLT and DSLR cams.

You can put external flash, microphone and viewfinder. It's interchangeable lens camera. And if you use the adapter, you can use all of the lenses available.

Sweep panorama photography.

You're welcome! :)

@onlywhenpissed I'm in the same boat as you. The 600D or Sony NEX 5N. I personally want it for travel semi pro use so small is good, but I also need good audio. The lack of external microphone options on the NEX 5N might be a deal breaker. Hopefully I can find a way around this.

@onlywhenpissed lol.. camera body sounds.. e.g. af motors, aperture, clicking the wheel, moving the LCD, brushing the camera up against something.. you want to isolate the mic from all that stuff

@POMSfforever

Just bought one, the clicking sound when you move the camera is gone.
