Let me start out by saying that I am a hobbyist photographer.

small; light weight; and almost completely eliminates autofocus noise; user friendly

should be included with rather than an optional purchase for cameras advertised as "continuous auto-focus&quot

For the consumer user wishing to improve on the quality of the camera's built-in mic, while reducing zoom and focus noise, the Nikon ME-1 stereo microphone offers some real potential.

Small size and no battery required; Low-cut filter; Reduction of lens noise pickup

Quality and pickup only somewhat better than built-in mic; Low-cut switch difficult to turn

Simple to use, Works Excellent, Can't find anything bad about this product

Durable; Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable

This mike serves it's purpose for me. It's a stereo condenser. I wanted an improvement over the on-board mike to get away from the AF and VR noise. This mike does not eliminate the noise, but cuts it down to a point where I can get a good sync in post.

Using on a D300s great improvement in sound quality. Use to shoot instructional video at an airport and results were exceptional. Unit is small enough that it does not show in the frame when using a wide angle lens 12mm. Most of the mics available are too long. Good value.

It is simple to use and the quality is great. It is a significant improvement on the poor built in mic on my D300s. For the price it is great.

I bought this to use on a Nikon D600, in order to improve the quality of the sound when recording a baby. It's well built and simple to use, but you have to turn the recording level up very high on the camera in order to record baby gurgles.

I use this product to record and take pictures. It helps get a clearer picture. And it all fit in my case.

Easy To Use; Good Interface With Camcorder; Improves Performance; Lightweight; Quality Construction

Have onlyl used a couple times, once indoors and the others outside. Indoors fell short due to the audio source coming from the TV while the outdoors uses were much better. Price is a bit high however had the benefit of some extra funds after selling some photo's.

This Mic was designed to be used on an DSLR for Video recording. You would need a much more elaborate mixer mic system to get any better sound.

Very Good Sound Results; Well Designed
