@Brooks – aweber, getresponse, mailchimp, constantcontact, icontact and verticalresponse are the services most people use…no one service has a clear advantage over another…you have to decide which service makes the most sense for you. I use 1shoppingcart.

Dave – who do you recommend for actually managing the list? Aweber? Get Response? Feedburner?

Thanks for the link. Looks like from my research that Sennheiser seems to be pretty high end.

Any recommendations on more entry level wireless mic systems?

Thanks again Dave

@iGoByDoc – I cover the microphone I use here…it’s available with both wireless lapel and wireless hand held mics:

Hello Dave,

AWESOME site! Was just sent your link by a buddy of mine, and I can not wait to dig in!

Just watched your Cannon HF S10 review, and I think that is the camera I want to go with.

Question: What mic wireless mic / system do you recommend for this camera. I plan on using the camera for on location reporting style video podcasts. If it was just me, a lapel mic may work, but I am also looking for a mic I can use during interviews, and it is possible these interviews could be in a noisy situation. So some sort of a directional mic, maybe handheld stick style.

Any recommendations?

Again, awesome site!

Doc

Dave,

You are one of the few marketers speaking to the novice market about video who is truly giving valuable and useful advice. Thank you for advancing the user community.

A correction regarding TV news crews. You will almost never see a broadcast TV camera crew using a Cannon camera. The preferred lense for an ENG rig is cannon but the cams are typically pro sony or panasonic DVC pro.

A great sony cam for web users is the old Sony DSR TRV 900. It is 3 chip, great lense, manual and auto controls and external mic input/headphone output to moinitor sound all in a small footprint. It has identical image quality to the newer sony prosumer cams but smaller and available at great prices on eBay (built like a tank).

Hope this info helps the community…

@Todd – All do except the Flips. The only Flip-style camera (currently) that has an auxiliary mic jack is the Kodak Zi-8.
