YES!! This is what I use (double system) when I record panels at science
fiction conventions. Yes, I have used wireless in the past ... but my
Edirol R-09 with a pair of Crown Sound Grabber 2 mics on the table works
great and is hardly noticable to both the audience and the panel members
(and the camera)

A Zoom H-2 would work just as well and save you $100.00

PS I also have the Sennheiser EW 100 ENG2 wireless setup as well.
