T6, videos and audio questions

[simrick]

Hi. Really new to DSLR and need some advice please.

I have a Rebel T6 (yes, the one without the external mic jack).

I am looking to record some videos in addition to photography - nothing professional, but I do need good audio from people speaking quite a ways away from the camera. So I have a Wireless Lavalier Mic + Receiver which I would like to use to record audio.

I guess I need one other piece of the puzzle now - something to record the audio from the lavalier mic (I realize I have to do some post production to match the audio to the video).

Anyone here have some experience with this stuff, and can make some recommendations of the best way to accomplish this? Thanks very much.

Good idea upgrading so quickly

Had to - the sale ended yesterday!

T6i should have had the newer “STM” version of the EF-S 18-55mm standard camera kit lens.

Okay! Not sure what that means, but it sounds good to me!

Honestly, I have to say, I am quite happy with it so far. Just a couple test vids today; messed around with the gain on camera and wrls mic to remove hiss, a little post-production tweaking and I am pleased with the results already. And, I can tell the features on this model are much better - more of what I prefer.

Thanks again.
