Nice videos! They are all so informative.

Question: I would like to plug a lapel mic (receiver) into the recorder and use the mic on the recorder for ambient sound. I want to be sure they are recorded on different channels so I can adjust the volume independently. Which unit would you recommend for this scenario? 

[davomrmac]

@HollywoodEyeMan You would need a multitrack recorder for that I think, so maybe look at the Zoom H4n or the new Olympus LS-100.

[davomrmac]

@HollywoodEyeMan As for different channels, I am not sure, other than adding an audio interface to the unit.

@mycamguy Answer from Olympus… The colour, memory capacity and what is included in the box – please check the website for differences between the LS-5 and LS-11, the LS-10 has now been discontinued.

We are not planning on releasing any new external microphones in the immediate future, however we already have a range available including our gun microphone, noise cancelling microphone, stereo mic and zoom mics. Olympus are continually developing the LS range.

what does it mean that the canon t3 has mono 48khz linear pcm audio? is that good?

[MrCarloStefano]

I would like to ask you if this recorder has the "timer rec" function, so it will start to register at the time and date that you have setted.

@djconnormoore No, you can just adjust the gain down.
