Now i have a sony hdr sr5e, which i normally use which has excellent on board sound recording (obviously not ideal but for what it is, it has good sound quality) although it does pick up unwanted noise. Now i'm filming on my Canon eos 500d which has awful sound, and there is no external mic input.
i have got another camera a panasonic Nv ds29 which does have an external mic and records onto dv tape. I also bought a cheap shotgun mic of which i have not had chance ot use in conjunction with this camera yet.
I also have an iriver H340 which i can plug the mic into & record in mp3 or WAV.
My question therefore, is what kind of sound recording devices are used in more expensive productions (when recorded seperately) and what comprimises can be made when recording sound?
I have recorded on my iriver before and got amazing results, not sure what would be best to use.
Thanks
