In some initial tests I've done, I noticed little if any difference in background noise or sound quality and perhaps better sound from the internal mic. (I didn't test for zoom noise, which I now will be worse on the internal mic.) Am I imagining this or am I expecting too much from such a cheap setup? &nbsp;Thanks.</P> Wed, 20 May 2015 00:14:45 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/R600-External-Mic/m-p/141277#M2754 Lobalobo 2015-05-20T00:14:45Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/R600-External-Mic/m-p/144946#M2755 <P>What microphone did you purchase?&nbsp; Is it unidirectional, omnidirectional, or bidirectional?&nbsp;</P> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 02:55:27 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/R600-External-Mic/m-p/144946#M2755 VideoGeek 2015-07-01T02:55:27Z
