Good mic for the price. Great first shotgun mic if you're curious.
For what I paid for this mic it does the job pretty well.
I generally never use the super-cardioid pattern on the switch as it's extremely noisy... but the normal cardioid is fine.
I do get some 50-60hz hum which, I believe, is just a bad ground in the outlet I've got my mixer plugged into... but I'm able to remove it with my audio editing software.
Aside from those two flaws, it's a pretty good mic. Good sound, nice range to pick up from. I'm very happy with it... especially for the price.

Just a solid little unit that does the job.
I purchased this to replace an older Panasonic camcorder that I had which ran into some issues... and this has been much better.
The picture quality and sound quality is better than any of the other camera I've owned. It's a more solid build than the Panasonic, it feels better when you're using it.
