Hello,

I need advice on which sound system to buy for my Canon Rebel T2i. I will be using it for shooting interviews and live action Tango dancing in Buenos Aires Argentina. I plan on being a one man crew most if not all of the time. Does someone know where I can find a list of pros and cons for each system. I am looking for the highest quality sound in this price range. I know next to nothing about sound recording and would appreciate suggestions and recommendations of types of accessories I might need such as types of laviers and microphones, ect. to make a complete sound package. Also, are both of these systems strictly hardwired or can you get a rf feed also? This is my first post and I'm not sure if this is the right section on this site for these types of questions.

The Zoom records a dual sound track that you synch to th original in post with something like PluralEyes. I have one the I would be happy to sell because I do not lie the preamps and the dirty sound with background has. Still much better than recording directly into the cam input. Gives you two XLR inputs.

The Juicedlink records to your cam feed, but has much better preamps and produces a much better sound. With the right model you also get XLR connectors. for wireless most people seem to insider the Evolution G3 to be the minimum acceptable system.

Look in the Canon 550 (same as the T2i) forum for many posts on this subject.
 
JuicedLink has great preamps!
With the Magic Lantern software for T2i you now have greater choice between models as you don't need the AGC version.
 
Thanks for the advice. I have heard of PluralEyes but haven't gotten to the stage of buying editing software, that is my next step. I have a new HP computer with 8 GB of ram and was thinking about buying Adobe Premiere Pro, but need advice on that also. What is PluralEyes?​
