Re: Help choosing low cost mic with Sony PCM-M10

Oryoki,
thanks a lot for the Rode Videomic suggestion and especially the pointers t=
o making it possible to use with the M10. I could actually buy Australian m=
ade IN Australia which would be nice, and perhaps assuage some of the guilt=
 of buying the recorder from overseas! It might be something I can afford b=
y March - I've had to wait for the recorder, I can wait for the mic.

"There's a Videomic Pro now, as well. It seems to be the original Videomic =
in a more attractive package. Price is $225."

I called my local stockist and they reckoned the Pro version was more direc=
tional but I can't find anything indicating that on the web. If there's no =
real difference, why do people pay the extra $100 when both are available, =
or am I missing something obvious?
thanks
Arwen
