Thanks but that doesn't really help me, instead of buying a sony mic I could also hook my DPAs up to the cam.
I guess I didn't say clearly enough what I want... I'm searching for a solution to mount a better mic TO my camera (that's why I mentioned the missing accessory shoe). There are various reasons why I don't want to use my dpas, one of them being that I still want to be able to run them separate. They'd further be a waste on this camera ^^
I can imagine to get a small powered mic (cam has no plugin power) that I can duct-tape onto the cam, something like that:
better solutions are still welcome!
@danzz: where/how does he mount the mic? or is he just holding it in his hand?
