I was doing some research for an upcoming shoot overseas and found some interesting sites with comparisons of and information on DSLR Mics. I love the H4N audio recorder/internal mics and use it on almost every shoot but I wanted to find a good substitute to use in the hot shoe of the 7D/5D for on the go audio that is recorded right to the video file.
