New Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone
Do you like this story?
I guess it was just a question of time before the camera manufacturers would come up with microphones that can be used with their digital DSLRs.
Nikon's foray in this field is the Stereo Microphone ME-1, an compact stereo condenser microphone that features a hot shoe mount, a 3.5mm stereo output connector, and a removable windscreen, as well as a "noise dampening components designed to minimize noise resulting from AF operation," according to Nikon's press release.
The ME-1 is meant for use with Nikon digital cameras that incorporate a stereo audio input jack, including the D3S, D300S, D7000, D5100 and P7000. The new microphone does not require a battery; instead, it draws power from the connected camera.
The issue with any camera mounted microphones is that every whirr, click or hum that the camera makes in its normal operation is picked up.
