I have heard about the sennheiser k6. What about the sony shotgun? Has anybody used one of them?

Have just bought the Sennheiser MKE300 (it's New Zealand product code) and have found it excellent, but I did have to buy a "shock mount" bracket for it so that the wind jammer didn't appear in the frame - it stands the mike up about 2.5 inches off the cam, and is on flexible rubber thingys so you get zero tape/head noise. I have heard that those sony shotgun "zoom" mikes (the ones that work with the intelligent accessory shoe) are a bit of a have.

I'm MIKE. I think what you need is a MIC :)
