Believe it or not, Nikon have published very little information on what looks like an intriguing accessory.

They don't even have the product manual uploaded yet. If you can find out any more, I'd be very interested.

I have a lavalier set - (have two actually). But this set is different, both the mic AND the receiver are clip on - no hot shoe attachment. It looks like it connects to the camera via cable only.

Interestingly, both the mic and the receiver have a microphone, so the photographer and the subject can be recorded and/or speak with each other via a headset.

Just wondering if anyone knows how one would use the ME-1 (stereo) mic with this set.

Does anyone know anything about the new wireless mic coming out soon?

Both the mic and receiver clip on (form the pics) and the specs say I can use my ME-1 as a plug in to record stereo, but I can't imagine how the ME-1 is going to hang from someone's shirt collar.

Any ideas?

I love the answers other members have given - and they are all correct!

I will chip in by saying you should start by learning how to take perfectly sharp pictures handheld at 1/30 with a mid-range zoom.

Once you can do that, you will find that virtually any camera you get will be good enough :)

Thank you for sharing Jody!
