[MPA] Good microphone?

[Scott Jacob Loehr]

I agree.  My strongest recommendation would be to get two 
microphones... one for studio and one for camcorder.  A mic in the 
$100-$150 range that comes to mind for the home stuff would be the 
Røde NT1a (needs phantom power).  The Sony would be a perfect choice 
for all the stereo camcorder stuff.
