FZ 15 Sound????

[Toona79]

Ok could someone who has one or has used one of the these FZ 15 tell me for sure if the camera will capture audio with the video?? I have seen conflicting reviews some say with audio other without. Even here on DCR the review of the FZ 20 says no audio on the FZ 15 . But then on the description of the FZ 15 (there isn't a review yet) it says it has audio. So... whats the truth?????

There is no microphone.
There is a speaker so it can playback audio but can not record sound.

Here is a link to the manual

ok on page 56 of the manual it reads this "You can record motion images without
audio." I guess that answers my question. That sucks though oh well

Thanks Gene appreciate the help
