Non-pedal related. Lapel Mic for a Camcorder

[billstein]

I have a nice professional grade Sony Camcorder and want to get better sound than the mic that sits on top of the unit. Anybody have any suggestions? Wireless? Wired?

Thanks in advance

Which do you want, wired or wireless? How much do you want to spend? A Shure WL93 is an inexpensive omni that works with their beltpacks. It also can be attached to a preamp and used wired. But a lapel mic is only really good for the wearer and maybe someone else really close. What exactly are you trying to capture?
