I've had good luck with single and dual Sennheiser
MKE-300's on this camcorder (if it is the US-version
AG-EZ30U). This mic is also relatively insensitive
to wind, and with a layer or two of air-conditioner
filter foam added, it can make it through a good
breeze without problems. The mic response is fairly
smooth, but it is not flat - EQ in post is useful.
