Hi Ray--
Mitch is right about you being able to record with your pocket
recorder too and sync them up in post by lining-up the wave forms.
The "drift" is usually not that bad. It does take a good bit of time,
so its not something one wants to do routinely. I used to put
multiple MiniDisc recorders in performer's pockets wearing lav mics
and let them run continuously and sync them all up in post. 'Twas a
pain, but it produced high quality without renting expensive radio
mics.
No doubt, new mics are in your future and AT4022's are certainly a
good investment. You can use a portable phantom power supply like the
Art Phantom II or Rolls PB224 (both under $70) to power the 4022's
and connect it to the HDC-HS700 mic input. (Velcro it on the bottom
of the camcorder). You may find that the stereo input jack on the
HDC-HS700 is adequate or even pretty good except the quietest
settings. The same phantom box can be used with your M10.
An intermediate solution is to use one of the new, small, low noise
PIP mics people are experimenting with and make-up a stereo rig to
sit on top of your camcorder or wear a pair on your body.Those will
likely be a big improvement over the internal mics. Of course, the
quieter the setting is, the further you'll want to get the stereo
mics away from the camcorder's motor noise. These mics don't require
a phantom box, they'll get power from the mic jack. :-) Info on
these low noise PIP mics is in the .doc link in this paragraph in
the list FAQ: http://tinyurl.com/29lhzub Rob D.
