I've never worked out why camera companies don't just use a decent pre-amp in their cameras so we don't have to jump through all these hoops - drives me mad. Canon manage it in the Cinema range so it can be done and I don't think anyone would mind if the camera cost $50 more and gave you great audio out of the box. But thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it.

Yes, ideally the best way is to capture the audio in the H6 and not pass it through the pre-amps in the camera at all. But, this means you have to then mess about syncing the audio and video in post, and when you consider that most people are listening on computer speakers or on a mobile device the increased workflow would go mostly unnoticed, like you say most people would be happy with the results - it's about balancing workflow and quality I guess.

If you have Premiere Pro you can record in say the H6 and also use the built in audio on your camera as scratch audio, Premiere has a feature where it will sync the H6 Audio track perfectly to the scratch audio ( you then just delete the scratch track ) and you have audio that is perfect.

If you use the Zoom H6 you can record with 6 audio sources. I do this all the time, but instead of sending the audio through the camera I connect the H6 to my computer via USB and record using Ecamm. But that is just my personal preference. This is why I love the H6 it’s just so flexible

Yes, because the audio and video are being combined in the camera the audio should be in sync with the video, it's only when the audio and video are coming in to the computer separately do you get an issue

At 6:42, it does matter which camera you're using. Fujifilm cameras allow you to select mic level and line level for your microphone port. I select line level and send line level audio to it and the audio baked into the video is fantastic coming in from my Zoom H6, Tascam 70D and Mixcast 4. This totally bypasses the cheap mic preamp of the camera. Sony cameras can't do this and I'm not sure about Panasonic, Nikon and Canon. Consider remaking this video to address this value added feature of the Fuji cameras.

Yes some camera's can. My GH5s for example will allow me to use line level, the GH5 won't. I try to make videos for the biggest audience and the common obstacles they face.

Sennheiser wins hands down.

The point of the lesson is to demonstrate how to get much better audio quality by not having the Pre-amps in the camera boost the signal and how to connect an XLR mic to a consumer-level camera using a simple 3.5mm cable. Pre-amps in a lot of consumer-level cameras add far to much hiss and noise to the track, running through a device, by going through something like the H6 means the pre-amps in the cameras can be turned right down resulting in a cleaner and hiss free audio track. The attenuating level part of the lesson is nothing more than an "oh you can also do this", it's not the focus of the lesson.
