Good mic for Sony HDR-FX1???

[Mikele]

I need to purchase a good mic for interview (lavalier mic).
What's good option for the HDR-FX1 (mini jack wiht plug-in power; sorry but no CANON)?

I have found a pair but I don't know much about audio and I'm very lost.
These are my two options:
Sony ECM-166BMP
Sony ECM-44BMP

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

I would probably reccommend Shure. For microphones. Not sure what a lavellier is, but they do them.
Or maybe Sennheiser.

Since you spent alot on a camcorder. I would reccommend speaking to someone in a shop who sells recording equipment.

here is a short faq.

With either of those mics you need the wrt-805 wireless transmitter. Some kind of reciever. Maybe a portable mixer too to get the levels right.

Might be a good place to start.

Unless you are always recording interviews, you could look at renting a mic system. It may be cheaper.

The three makes I'd go for are Sennheiser, AKG and Beyer.
