Digital camera reviews of Sony ECMHW1 Bluetooth Wireless Microphone for DVR-DVD405, 505, HDR-SR1, UX1 & DCR-SR60, SR80, SR100 Camcorders
Digital camera Review: Very convenient
Summary: 4 Stars
As an experienced sound guy for live events, I have a pretty good handle on sound quality for microphones. This little jewel is still a condenser-type microphone, similar to the one on the camera, designed for picking up sounds from a bit of a distance. As such, the sound quality is similar to the microphones on the camera itself. The advantage, of course, is that you have the ability to put the center of the sound further away, presumably closer to your subject.
I have used wireless dynamic lapel mics for camera interview work and typically, they sound much warmer and reject more background noise. If I were doing professional video work, I would use professional dynamic mics instead of this set.
However, you can't beat the convenience for this unit. Just get the little wireless microphone unit reasonbly close to your subject(s) and shoot. I've used it with very good results. At one point I was recording under a canopy at a park. I could hear my subjects well, but also picked up a conversation from two people at the other end of the canopy about 40 feet away, oh, and airplanes, busses, trucks, etc.
That said, I still recommend this solution. The quality is typical of video camera mics, the convenience of just place and shoot is great, and the bluetooth connection works reliably. I'd buy it again. Just don't expect to go pro with it.
