Is this camera good Canon HV20?

I'm looking for a good microphone for a Canon HV20 (no XLR inputs) and I hope not to spend more than $100

  • I want a microphone for a Canon HV20, which has no XLR inputs, and I hope to spend less than $100. It must be a stereo mic, and I would prefer it to be a shotgun mic, or something similar (good for picking up sound in front of the camera, and not so much from behind the camera). It should come with a wind screen, and I (obviously) don't want the microphone to have any sort of humming or background noise. If anyone knows of such a microphone, than please help me out. Again, try not to exceed $100 unless their aren't any cheap mics like I've described. Thank you for your time.

  • Answer:

    The only two stereo mics in your price range that are halfway decent come from NRG Research (SA-800) or Audio-Technica (ATR25). The ONLY 2 stereo shotgun mics of which I am aware are from RODE and Sennheiser - and both are out of your price range. You can add XLR to your camcorder with a BeachTek DXA-6. I use one on my Sony HDR-HC1 with an Audio-Technica AT825.
