Awl--

It looks like I'll be going with the canon hv20, and the question is whether
to use a Rodes shotgun mike (camera-mounted ROVM/VM) or the Canon DM-50 mic
listed as an accessory to the HV20.
In a makeshift studio, about 500 sq ft or so.

A guy at B&H said that both mics are good, and that he would choose the
Canon mic ($149)only because it's less bulky than the Rodes ($119).
Any opinions? Other alternatives?

Eventually I'll experiment for multiply-placed mics running through a mixer,
but right now I just want to avoid the "built-in mic sound".
tia.
