Hello everybody.. i´m new to filmmaking.. i´m a photographer trying to learn with DSLR Video!
I own all the equipment i need for video, but not for audio.
Actually.. i don´t have anything for the audio yet.
My idea is to start with a recorder, such as
Tascam DR 05, 07MkII, DR 40, or the Zoom H1, h2n or h4n.
I can afford them all but if i buy a cheaper one i can spend the rest of the money on a Shotgun mic and stuff like that.
I need a recorder mainly for weddings. I don´t want to record real audio all the time, but i need it to capture the groom talking to the camera or friends, the bride reading her vows and similar situations, without lots of enviromental noise.
My question is: I can grab a DR05 for 90 u$d.. does it make sense to spend over 200u$d on a H4N if the mics are really similar? I know that one uses XLR inputs.. but are they worth it for this use?
What about the 07MKII? The Dr40? The Zoom H1? (This one is the only one i tested and i really liked it, but i know nothing about audio).
Thank you for reading!
