What hiss "problem"...? ;-) Buy one, check the audio at the
*line outs* (not with headphones), and you will wonder what
all this fuss was about. If the noise is excessive for you,
return it. But MANY users happily record good audio with
this camera, unaware of this "problem"...;-) I have two, and
I like the audio I get with the VX2000 - and I am an "audio
nut". If I encounter noise of any type, from any source, a
quick pass of the WAV file through Cool Edit's excellent
(and cheap) noise reduction module, and it is gone...

Well, "yes", and, "no" - if you believed it was a problem
before, it will still be a problem after - but if not,
then not...;-)
