@BNROEC Yeah, it would work fine for that, although if you're just recording the piano, you might be better off with a regular handheld mic on a stand and just plugging it in to the camera. This mic would work fine though, and be more useful for other things as well.
I have put a link and picture of the mic I would probably use if I were going to record song covers and wanted something good but not too expensive in the link in this videos description. The mic I'm talking about is the 3rd one down, and I also included the stand you could use for it.
@Matadurr This mic will work with any camera that has an audio input, which the NEX 7 does. As long as the accessory shoe is the standard SONY one, which it looks like to me, it should mount on top of the camera fine too.
cool. For the time being though I figure I might as well make use of my campuses recording capabilities, and just try splicing the video and audio in iMovie or something. Thanks for the info.
The main issue is that the line in is really bad on the camera and you will have a TON of hiss whatever you plug in. The only solution really is to use a separate recording device, but then you will have to sync the sound later on again... (PS: I use an A55 with the RODE SVM, and while the sound is brilliant, the cheap camera circuitery adds way too much noise to the signal)
@TheLmpo Yeah, believe it or not the sound is slightly better than a number of other digital cameras I've tried, but the external mic improves it a lot!
canons t3 mono mic sounds better than the a33 stereo mics lol :D

You wouldn't happen to be able to test this mic on an NEX-7 would you?
