xguypiano Full Member Registered: 11/14/09 Posts: 28	Hi , i would like to do some recording on my piano, as a practice for my piano exam Its a video recording , and the external microphone will be connected to the Canon EOS 550D, for a better sound than the internal recorder itself. This internal microphone should have a 3.5mm jack , and my budget is between $40 to $50. Any microphone to recommend? Thanks.

OK it is a little bit out of budget, but it has the same professional condenser mics as a portable recorder of 400 dollars. Look here how it is mount on you Canon EOS : Edited by FreddyChopin (10/28/10 08:08 PM) _________________________
