Once you start working with video, you learn something early. While the quality of the video is important, the quality of the audio is absolutely vital.
An audience will put up with crappy video, but not crappy audio. It's just too annoying. Folks will just skip your video for the next one.
That's why you don't want to depend on your camera's built-in mic to capture audio. Instead, you will want to work with lapel mics, handheld wireless mics and shotgun mics. That can get expensive, but it's worth it.
I think it's fair to say that, if you have to choose between a top-of-the-line camera or first-rate audio equipment, you should put your money into the audio. (Unless you plan to never conduct an on-camera interview or to capture ambient sound.) It's that important.
With that in mind, here's a solid guide to selecting microphone from Videomaker.com
