Microphone for video cameras.

I am looking to record sound for my films that I plan to make.

I have a microphone jack on the camera but I want something that will pick up dialoge from those in front of it and a little bit of background sound to be noticable but not overbearing.

Thank You.

Re: Microphone for video cameras.

depends on how far you wanna go. i would get a mic that is switchable between cardioid and omnidirectional. look at condensor mics.

Re: Microphone for video cameras.

I don't want to spend too much.

Just something to pick up the sound without noise.

Re: Microphone for video cameras.

Sony makes an array of consumer microphones for cameras. Most of them are electret condensers. Check them out for your budget. I would recommend cardioid or hypercardioid pattern.
You also might want to get some sort of windshield if you are planning to shoot on the streets or outdoors in general.
