I'm thinking about getting an external microphone for my Canon EOS 7D (since the built-in one isn't very good.) Nothing pro, but something that gives better audio quality. Suggestions?

As an accessory for a photographic camera, I don't consider this question to be off-topic. – Dave Van den Eynde Aug 9 '10 at 14:51
It's not used for actually taking photos though, but for making video. Just because you plug it into a DSLR with video mode doesn't make it any more on topic than if it plugs into a RED. – ex-ms Aug 10 '10 at 1:31
The question you should be asking yourself is: where do DSLR experts go? I think the answer will be: here. Since I'm looking for a camera accessory, I'll get more relevant answers here, not on a video forum. :) – Blixt Aug 11 '10 at 13:20

I'm using the Audio Technica Pro 24 CM. It has a nice short curled lead that fits snugly over the camera, a hot-shoe shock mount and I've gotten good results with it. It's not 'pro', it doesn't feature XLR but it's practical and reasonable.

Cool, it looks nice and the price isn't bad. I'll see if I can find it in shops here in Sweden. – Blixt Aug 11 '10 at 13:21
