Hello,   I have been searching on the internet for a while now for reviews on the Panasonic DMW-MS2 mic with not much success. Nevertheless, I have found this article and video that, in opposition to what has been written in this forum, says very positive things about the Panasonic mic: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5440/panasonic-dmw-ms2-shotgun-condenser-microphone/p1   I am confused! I don't know whether I should get the Rode videomic pro, which obviously has great reviews on the net or go for the Panasonic. I am an indy filmmaker who would need efficient shotgun sound for outdoors interviews and the possibility to catch ambient sounds as well. It seems to me that the Panasonic is a good option since it allows both types of recordings while the Rode records only mono. Any thoughts? Anyone knows good quality for the price mic that does both functions as the Panasonic?   Thanks in advance for your help!
