I got an Audio Technica 4047 mic and an Audio Technica 4053B mic. One is much longer than the other one but they cost about the same.

I set both up to record dialogue between two people for a video I was shooting and the 4053B sounded MUCH better than the 4047.

The 4047 sounded like I was in a soundproof studio and nothing else was around. When playing the video with the 4047 audio, it didn't fit right at all.

But the 4053B sounded so natural and made me feel like I was actually there. It didn't sound closed off and isolated like the 4047.

Why such a big difference?

I'm going to get some serious gear soon and I have to upgrade my current shotgun.
 
I'll be shooting a lot of interior shots in small to medium sized rooms. From what I've been told, a shotgun mic like the MKH 416 is terrible for indoors, correct?
 
What's the best indoor mic for $1,000 and under?
 

Without adapters, which are the best m43 lenses for the GH2? Specially for gorgeous looking video?
 
I want very rich and vibrant colors so my videos look like this.
