  • damn, cut ur nails

  • All the band vids on my channel with the Zi8 are useing the 5 buck Sony ECM-DS70P. The trick is go into settings of the camera and turn the volume all the way down before you record a band. You have to reset it if you turn the camera off or the volume will go back to full.

  • i have a zi8 as well. i bought a cheap lil knob mic (fingernail big) and it doesn't work when plugged in. my oem mic works fine though. do i need to make sure that the mic is stereo? furthermore, do u film outside? how do u find wind noise on your mic?

  • Dunno what you lot are smoking, or if you're fooled by louder sound. The fake Kodak was far more distorted than the internal mic, but it was louder. The sound of the lapel mic just shows that you have to spend more to get a good lapel mic.

  • Internal won for me.

  • I would be nice to hear the sound with different frequencies, specially low frequencies to have a good idea of the sound, you only have used your voice to test the sound. thx

  • Wow the sonyt is good for a fake i just bought one

  • thumbs up for the fake. You just convinced me to get the fake on ebay. four bucks with shipping! now the waiting game....

  • The fake one sounded horrible.

    As fwupow mentions, the distortion was noticeable.

  • I'd go with the internal. The knockoff Sony was louder but it sounded like there was some distortion at higher sound levels. Too close to mouth?
