    Comments about Sony ECM-673 Shotgun Microphone:

    This microphone is a very good value for the money. It is quiet and has good sound, very little handling noise witch makes it great for camera mounting. The mic is short but still quite directional. I am using this on a PMW-EX1 and it is a nice improvement over the camera's onboard mics.

    The mic is finished with gray paint which doesn't seem like it will hold up too well, but this is a minor thing to me.

    A very good product overall.
