Sound equipment

[IvanTsang]

hey all.

i'm looking to buy some sound equipment for my DVX. any suggestions with links?

what would be best (since I work crewless) are some mics that I attach to the camera. are these mics a lot better than the one already on the camera? is it worth the upgrade?

should i get some wireless mics? any ideas which ones are good?

thanks.

yes, better mics will make a big difference
but as for suggestions, it really depends on what you plan on doing with your camera?
interviews?
concerts?
drama shorts?

If you're doing drama shorts without a crew you need a really good shotgun mic on the camera. I have had very good experiences with a Sennheiser ME66, it's almost too long for the DVX, but it works and the sound is really good.
