Expensive, but I hear worth every penny:

External microphone works wonders before the problem occurs. Search this forum, there are some recommendations on doing some audio noise reduction with native Vegas.

Yep, noise reduction is incredibly handy.

my suggestion for a good price is sound soap
I've got the lite edition and it works great.

I believe Bias is the co. who makes it.

I had some ultra-high motor whine in a short I just worked on (noisy prod sound in a short - perish the thought...) and fortunately it was far enough "up" that I could brickwall the digital filter on iZotope's Ozone and then add a bit of air to the room with the harmonic exciter and a bit of their room reverb. If you're looking to knockout something that's in the critical band, or 60 cycle hum that sucks the bottom out of the room if you roll it off - you're going to get into some heavier-duty work. Soundsoap might be your best bet then.

Ditto. I use BIAS Sound Soap 2 a lot. It is simple to use and works great as long as you have a second of just the noise for it to learn. It has filters for click & crackle, rumble, 50/60 cycle hum, and even has an enhancer stage to add some presence back into the audio.

Uh, what camera?

In the PD-150 and 170 I've seen too many cameras with the michrophone clamp tight enough to tow a trailer. It's supposed to be loose allowing the microphone to float inside the clamp.
