Re: Experience with BT-BI158's?

Thanks again Rob for your post. I am not looking for that low of a  
noise floor for this application. I still have my 722 and NT1-A's for  
those applications. I've been an amateur photographer for 25 years  
and I rejected point and shoot cameras for the same reason of  
quality. As I get older I finally realized that I didn't always want  
to bring all the gear with me all the time so I broke down and bought  
a small Nikon coolpix and was very happy that I did. This portable  
unit with electrets will be my audio "point and shoot".

Many thanks to all the helpful list members.
