Customer Review: DOES NOT WORK WITH HG10
Summary: 3 Stars
Just wanted to say..this does not work with the HG10..i ordered it as a gift for someone with an hg10 and it did not work and will be promptly returning it..im sure it works fine..but that is an annoyanceCustomer Review: DISAPPOINTED IN FREQUENCY RESPONSE
Summary: 2 Stars
I have just received this mic and read the specs (not available online). I am disappointed to learn that its frequency response is only 100-10,000! Bummer! I plan to return it to get a refund. Because of its limited performance, I would not recommend this mic to anyone who is serious about sound quality for their videos.Customer Review: Review of the Canon DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to like this product (of course I did, I bought the darned thing), but I just couldn't. Instead, I was compelled to return it.
Why did I return it? Because it, no matter the adjustment I made, was not worth the $150.00 I paid for it. I bought it with the hope that it would provide higher quality sound than the sound provided by my Canon HF-100's built-in microphone(s). It doesn't. I was also hoping that, by using it's "shotgun" setting, I could cut out extraneous sound and have only the sound from directly forward of the camcorder; ufortunately, this mic's shotgun mode doesn't do so well in this respect.
After returning this, I bought, through Amazon (good price) a "Rode Videomic" which cost about the same, but is a lot better mic. A heads-up for those considering the Rode Videomic: you have to buy a $30 Adorama 'cold shoe to hot shoe adapter' to have the Videomic fit on your Canon HF100 or HF10. Additionally, the Videomic is HUGE, compared to the HF100; it looks really strange sitting atop it. Oh, well. Such is the price I have to pay to get (affordable) shotgun mic sound.
Customer Review: good for nothing

I highly DON'T recommend anybody to buy this product! I am so surprised at people who gave this product a 5-Star rating! it doesn't even deserve a 1-star! Using this product or not can't tell much the difference.Customer Review: never got
