what do you think, is the sennheiser MKE 400 a good microphone to record a voice in 1-2 meters distance? i search a good one to record natually sounds, voices in a greenscreen-room and much more.
I really like my MKE 400. I have not used it for doing interviews, or anything like that, but I do use it for recording family events and I like the sound. The small compact size is nice. If I'm not mistaken, the Canon HG20 has the "Mini" advanced accessory shoe. That will be a problem for you to attach the microphone. Just like my camera, any standard shoe mount wont fit the "Mini" shoe on our cameras.
I use a small adaptor bracket that attaches to the bottom of the camera using the tripod mount. Kind of a pain, but the MKE 400 is better then the DM-100 shotgun mic from Canon. Hope this helps.
Check out my video of my little niece learning to crawl. That video was shot using the same MKE 400, but I also used the Canon wide angle adaptor WD-H58 also!
Yep, especially the DIY style. There is also a certain amount of vignetting that occurs in the corners as well. I like the look, but still zoom in about 10% in post to try to minimize it.

ive noticed that alot of 35mm adapters make the video look very soft.
