I was trying the video function on my A580 over the weekend and impressed with the image quality but the sound (outside recording) was more wind than what I wanted to record. Looking throuogh David's excellent review of the A580 I could not find any comments on the sound and how to fit an external microphone. Any suggestions from a current user on what model to purchase. I guess that one fitting on to the flash shoe (with a short lead) would be ideal. Has to be suitable for outdoor recording. Thanks in advance.

You probably need something like this:

BTW, on stock at sonystyle.com (Adorama is having new alpha products this week, included that SEL 30mm Macro, probably this mic will be on the same shipment)

Thank you for your quick response Pako. I have ordered one from Amazon.co.uk. I am sure this will device will greatly enhance the sound.

Yes, the SEL 30mm f3.5 macro -I'll go and see what it looks like ;-)

There are little chances I'll buy this lens, this kind of macro (50mm equivalent) is good for technical stuff (reproductions, stamps) but for that I already have what I need on the A-mount system -and all the adapters I'll need in case I pick the NEX for macro stuff. I prefer to save that money for the 24mm; the 55-200 and specially, for the NEX7 (or whatever # they'll give to that rumored EVF NEX)
