Re: Sennheiser MKH-416 or Sanken CMS-10?

Gracias! I will be using this as my "on camera" mic. I will be using a Sony PCM-D1 for separate, non time-coded recordings of nature sounds (it's small and light, which is important). The other mic will be on the camera all the time. I will be solo much of the time, backpacking, climbing, and expedition tour kayaking on multi-day wilderness adventures. I hope I'm in the right direction? I just want very good audio instead of using the built-in mic. My camera is the Sony EX1. I will be ordering a shock mount and a Rycote softie. I'm a still photographer wanting to go into high-def video so the sound thing is new to me. Actually the video is pretty new to me too, but visually I feel confident... audio I'm completely ignorant. I'm open to good solutions... I've just heard the Senn 416 is a good, durable field mic able to withstand lots of conditions and has good audio. I will be doing some onsite narration in wilderness settings too.
