• Works out fine
  The Canon DM 50 works fine on my HV30 camcorder. Its a pity the manufacturer of the camera, Canon, cannot do better with the on board mike. Its placement on top of the camrea facing up is not the best. The DM50 shotgun overcomes those problems.

• Exceptional Consumer MIC
  This microphone is adequate for close to mid range pickup depending on the noise level. It has three settings, one that emulates a shotgun Mic and the other two are for stereo wide and narrow. I own the Canon HV-20 and this MIC virtually eliminates the tape mechanism sound!!! It comes with a wind screen that works well under still to mildly windy conditions. The DM-50 runs of off the camcorder battery which eliminates the weight of having two AA batteries.

• Canon cam mike
  only used it once so far for a live music event at a bar and it seems to have worked just fine so far as I can tell.
