Camera with best built in audio?

4 years 1 month ago #678135 by Fran Welch
Do all cameras have sub par built in audio?  I have Googled this topic and can't find any examples of someone talking about the in camera audio being amazing on a particular camera.  This is just a random question I had been wondering about.  I have a 5D Mark III (Canon) and know within the next 6-8 months I will likely upgrade my camera.  I want to get into more video experience, so have already started my research down that path.  


Thank you

Fran

By definition, any mic that is not near the sound source is not going to do a good job. In addition, the in-body mics are tiny, and not well positioned.

So, the answer to your question would be "none". IMNSHO, of course. I could be wrong.

(Yes, this comes from experience, and being disappointed in my trust of the on-camera mic. I've had to learn the hard way.)

Suggest you let that go, and think about what you want to accomplish. Then research tools that will help you achieve your goals.

Your best bet is get an off camera mic, like from Rode.
