Re: Cheap Shotgun?
Either of these any good? Would they be better than the stock microphone? How much better?
This is basically my price range by the way.

Azden SGM-1X XLR 2 Barrell Shotgun
NRG SA-568 Dual-Mode Shotgun
Your best choice of these two is going to be the Azden SGM-1X.

Would it be a decent choice for someone with no money? Or should I pass?

Re: Cheap Shotgun?
But the Oktava MC-12 isn't actually an on-camera mic, while it's a very nice (more expensive) mic, it's more of a studio mic.
btw Coltrain, you'll be very satisfied with the Azden.

Coltrain,
There's been a lot of discussion about mics in the audio forum. Peruse what's there and you'll get some good ideas.

Re: Cheap Shotgun?
I second the SGM-1X, sounds much cleaner, and as I mentioned before, even sounds cleaner than the more expensive SGM-2X. I like the fact that it comes with a starter foam piece and a basic shockmount that can go on a hotshoe or boompole. All u need is a $13 18" XLR cable and you are good to go. btw the DVXuser discount on that mic is $144.50, http://www.evsonline.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SGM1X
