TLC, I'm not trying to sound ornery here...I've really sworn off that...
But, do you mean the Rode NTG2 vs. the Oktava Mk-012? If so, you're looking at apples and celery. The Rode is a shotgun mic, primarily used for outdoor work with proper wind protection, and the MK-012 is, depending on which capsule you buy, probably a hypercardioid, and primarily used for interior shots. I have not used the Rode, but recently someone here said it was crappy. I have used the Octava and love it for what it is good at, interiors.
A note to all future posters - please be a bit more specific to your needs and to the brands you are talking about in order to get the best qualified answers here. There are a couple of mics that go without saying which brand...for example the 416, but for the novices that populate our forum, I recommend you always spell it out...even that obnoxious T.H.E. ;-) (and that isn't that hard....) And, if you can't figure out how to spell Sennheiser, then Senn. will work too. ;-)

thanks for the info. im a pro audio guy that is getting into the video/audio world, i purchased the oktava mk-012 with all 3 heads. what is a good medium priced outdoor mic to use on the dvx100b? im new to the search and still have a bit of trouble getting to where i want to go, great site i ordered the dvxbook, looking forward to diving into it for help.
is it me or does the 100b look as little cheaply built on the exterior, i guess i was expecting a little more rigidity to it. i currently use an xl1. it looks a bit more expensive..
