What mic should I buy for my camcorder?

What mic should I buy?

• want to buy an external microphone for my new camcorder, I have the money to buy one microphone only, looking for a good "workhorse" microphone that will handle most types of recording adequately, but I don't know what to look for, what type should I buy? eg shotgun/rifle etc. and when on amazon what sort of things should I look out for, there's one where the sensitivity says -50/-60 db, is that good??? I want it to pick up ambient sound but not the tripod moving and frequency response, whats a good figure there? As you might have guessed, this is my first time buying an external mic so the jargon doesn't tell me much
