  1. I've recently bought the Sony PCM-M10 as an external recorder to accompany my Sony a6000 camera as it doesn't have any external microphone input.

    While I really like the sound of the build-in mics on the PCM-M10 I decided to buy a shotgun mic. After listening to the comparison here: http://www.newmediascholar.net/tester/ I decided to go with the Rode NTG-2.

    I bought a second hand one and couldn't try it out as it was from a guy from different part of the country.

    Now I am quite disappointed. To get any usable sound with the Rode NTG-2 (with a fresh battery) plugged into the PCM-M10 via XLR-3.5mm jack cable I have to use the 'High Mic Sensitivity' on the recorder a then it is significantly noisier then the PCM-M10's built-in mics. Also (the hiss aside) it sounds muffled and overall much worse than the standalone PCM-M10.

    Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just not a suitable mic for the PCM-M-10? What would you recommend?

  2. Thanks guys for your replies. Sold my 7D for a solid price but the buyer also wanted my 17-40 4L so I got rid of that as well as I decided to go with the a6000 and could really use image stabilization for video.

     

    Now I have another question. What's the best all-around lens? Should I go with the Sony 16-70 f4 or some 3rd party alternatives? Using primes is mostly not an option for me (hanging on rope above a climber I don't have time to change the lenses often). 

     

    Also I still have Canons 70-200mm and 50mm 1.4. Do you think it's worth it getting a Canon EF to Sony e-mount adapter and use them on the Sony a6000 or is it better to sell them and get sony counterparts?

  3. Hey guys, could you help me out? I'm looking for an upgrade from Canon 7D, started by mainly shooting climbing (stills) but at the moment leaning more towards video. 5DM3 is out of my league and as I already own bunch of L Canon glass I'm considering either Canon 6D or this Sony a6000 with metabones adapter. What would you recommend? Any other suggestion in this price range? video:stills = 2 : 1
