I am just starting to look at mics as well. I for one am a little leary of running an audio into the camera as I sometimes hearing a ticking in the audio while recording. Granted it is the onboard mic but it is a noticeable "ticking". So I am looking at the Zoom or the Edirol found here:

I have to do a bit more research but I will post back here with what I personally decided on.
 
The H4N will give you WORLD's better quality audio than the beachtech.

In fact, I bought the H4n last month in anticipation of buying the 5dMkII and love it.
 
Thanks squig and mcgee.
I assumed the H4N was better audio.
Didn't know if the quality compromise was worth getting sync audio in camera with the Beachtek, especially if attempting to go handheld/shoulder.
 
This topic has been well covered over at cinema5d.com. Basically the H4N is universally acknowledged as the best solution for now.
