<p>I assume that if I decide to use the video only and not use the live sound and dub in music for the final product, this isn't an issue.</p>

<p>Thanks PuppyFace and Matt for your responses. Wow. A lot to consider. I've been in photography for over 45 years, doing only stills in both studio and location work, and thought I should offer some video (limited) mixed in with my stills. If I took on this new venture, I only want to do it properly with good sound as I know the camera is capable of producing good video. Thanks again.</p>

<p>I own a 5D Mark ii and have always used it specifically for still photographs. I now want to incorporate some video into my work, and need a suggestion for a good mic for the 5Dii. I have read reviews on different mics and they are mixed saying that some are really good mics but are bad on the 5Dii. It seems that the 5Dii has some problems with hissing using an external mic because the system has an auto adjust for the audio that can't be adjusted manually. The internal mic is pathetic so I want to invest in an external one. Any suggestions from owners of the 5Dii who use an external mic with no problems would be appreciated. I am looking for a mic to attach to the hot shoe, not external or lapel mic. Thanks</p>
