I've heard good things about the rode video mic, I will soon be ordering one myself. You can hear for your self in Philip Bloom's new video http://vimeo.com/7412515 he only used the rhode video mic for all sound in this video.

found out some more things
within $200 there are the options of the Azden SGM-1X and the AT875
which one is the best for shotgun?
