5D's input is as consumer as you can get both in design and parts. I
highly suggest using an external audio recorder. I don't know any
production that has ever used the on camera audio from Canon's DSLR as
their primary audio no matter the budget.
Regarding sync, yes this is an issue for some camera including Canon's
DSLR. The heavy processing that video goes through leads to audio being
1-3 fields ahead of video. Plural Eyes use the waveform of the embedded
audio to sync external audio. If your internal audio is off, PluralEyes
will be off also. The DVX100 was so famous for this issue that many NLE
makers, including Avid, included a feature to compensate during capture.

I believe the Panny HVR-200 was known to have some audio sync issues with it's files and perhaps DSLRs like Cannon 5D. We are shooting standups with the 5D and they use to do double system and sometimes it was off. Now they are sending the audio to the camera from the mixer. Is the internal audio on the Canon 5D problematic as far as quality and sync? We also have the audio files to use for backup. Trying to remember what gotchas I've read about on the L-2. You now it's not until I get bit in the arse that I remember something somewhere somehow might be of use.
