I bought this mic about a year ago for a sony SR7, and when I mounted it on the camera I could barely tell the difference between it and the onboard mic. I recommend getting the RODE video mic that has significantly better sound quality. Also, the mic broke not long after I bought it. I really wasn't too disappointed though.

I'm an audio professional and am disappointed in this mic. I am using it with a HDR-SR12 camcorder. Sony doesn't offer many solutions that fit their AIS shoe. I am looking for better audio capture but this mic comes up short. It is very tinny sounding compared to the built in mic (hi pass at 300hz probably to reduce wind rumble). It is not a true shotgun mic design. I shoot primarily documentary style so wireless or bulky mics are not usable. Unfortunately, neither is this one from Sony. Frankly my old Sony TRV65, with it's forward facing stereo mics & proper windscreen, produces way superior audio tracks. These new camcorders with upward facing mics capture all ambient with no DIRECT sound and Sony offers no adequate solutions. Why do we end up getting better HD video but suffer with inferior audio in these new designs?
I tried ordering a replacement thinking my mic was defective but it sounded the same. Thought my new camera must be working improperly so I sent it and the mic to Sony service along with video clips demonstrating the problem. They shipped it back saying "no problem found" and commented that their technicians could hear no change in the audio in my video clips. They must be listening on tinny computer speakers or accept it as "normal performance." Either way I'm out my $45.
I am left with designing my own solution, an X-Y configuration (think Zoom) or possibly a mid-side that I can encode during post w/built in adjustable compressor/limiter (SSM2167).

This product improved the audio as compared to the built-in microphone, but it still leaves a recording with some background noise - a low hissing sound. It's not too loud, but if you're looking for broadcast quality recordings you'll need a better camera and a better microphone. I have software to delete the noise, so for me it works. And considering the low price of the camera and microphone, I can't complain.

I purchased this add on mic in hopes to get a clearer, stronger, and enhanced sound quality from spokesperson doing short range demonstration videos from 6' to 15' range. In the zoom setting the sound intensity and quality was barely equal to but no better than the intergrated unit.
In gun mode, the voice from the person speaking directly toward the mic sounded slightly muted and tinny like as though speaking through a tin can. It did though minimize peripheral sounds but at the cost of dynamic quality. In summary the built in speaker in my HDR-SR11 offered a clearer, more dynamic sound than the ECM-HGZ1 under the mentioned conditions. Also must mention that the ECM-HGZ1 feels omniously delicate and vunerable to heavy handed pressure. A NON recommendation for this product, But Amazon.com LLC rocks, fast, reliable order processing, and highly satisfactory delivery efficiency, especially to Honolulu, Hawaii. Aloha !!!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KU3AZCVEZVHS I read all the reviews and then tested the microphone on my Sony HDR-HC3. I agree with others that the gun mode is best. And there might be uses for the zoom affect, like having the sound increase in strength as one moves into a scene. But in normal mode like filming wedding vows from a distance the gun mode would be best while zoomed or not zoomed.
