Good Camcorder External Mic?

Niji

I have a great camcorder and I want to use it, but looking at other's videos at the beach and so on it's clear that wind is a big problem. I want to get a good stereo external mic, but it must have a good windscreen or effective dead cat/kitten. I hope you use a steadycam also so it really needs to
be attached to the camera.
Can anyone recommend a good camcorder mic that doesn't protrude too much and not cost an arm and a leg?

Answer

Answer
I am not an expert. But I am currently in the market for an HD video recording solution (I say that cos i'm leaning towards DSLRs that do video - my budget is £600) and I don't think anything for that budget comes with a mic input. Additionally apparently even the (DSLR) ones that do, suffer from bad quality audio because you can't override the automatic boost (the AGC).

I have begun to consider simply buying an external audio recorder to do audio, as I think I can get more for my money on the visual side that way with cameras that don't have mic-in.

Hope you find one.
