Thanks for the reply. I have only done a few weddings for friends and family using the camcorder built in mic with reasonable results. Talking to other people who had their weddings filmed the last thing they wanted was guys running around with mics and earphones, basically they did not want to know they were there. I have been asked to do a couple more and don't really want to use lapel radio mics, so that is why I asked the question. I really just want to try and pick up the audio a lot better than a built in mic. It just seems logical to place a mic near to the happy couple and pick up better audio. The same would apply to the speeches I assume. Any more feedback and advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
