I spent over $1000 on audio equipments!

Sennheiser g3 system $800
Zoom H2 $200
Zoom H1 $100
2x Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4-GH1 2.5mm $80
Shotgun Microphone $200

All these equipments and not able to record audio in my GH13!!! Dual audio is not an option as I hated!
Canon T3i disabled AGC. I don’t know much about T3i, but if it shoot 25p + AGC disabled, then I am sold!
What you guys think?
 
The image quality of the T3i is vastly inferior to the GH13 in most situations (except for maybe low light) with much lower resolved resolution. The T3i lets you do manual level control, but doesn't have audio levels on screen during recording and has no way to adjust audio levels during recording. The GH2 also lets you do manual level control and has on-screen audio levels but still no way to adjust levels during recording. They're not quite there yet, but the GH2 certainly has the edge on the T3i here, and in image quality of course.

What kind of projects are you doing? What's wrong with dual system?
 
Thanks Ben_B... I do Narrative Short Films 45-90 minutes 25p.. I am terrified of using dual systemas as I never tried before and keep thinking it will be a lot of work, and out of sync! I bought PluralEyes but don't want to try it unless i have to!
 
Dual system audio isn't as scary as you think. Hollywood has been doing it forever, just remember to use a clap board and syncing will be easy. You can even just clap your hands in front of the camera and sync off of that.

The t3i is nice, but it is still using the same technology that was in the 7d, t2i, and 60d. You would do better to purchase a GH2 like Ben said, it is vastly superior in image quality.
 
I've worked on three going on five 45-60 minute narratives using dual system. With a clapboard everything is fine.
