I'm looking to pick up an external mic for my Nikon D5100. I've narrowed it down to the Pro-24CM and the ECZ-990. Both are about the same price $60 and $69. Both have the same review rating. Almost nothing, except their physical aspects sets them apart from what I can see.
From what I can tell, the biggest difference is the size/shape. The Pro-24CM is shorter(4.5" vs 6") and sits a little lower, so seems like it'd be better on a DSLR. But, the ECZ-990 weighs a little less and use a more convenient AAA battery - not that buying some LR44's in bulk would be hard. I feel like it'd be more fitting to use the Pro-24CM on a DSLR, unless the ECZ-990 has something going for it that I don't know about.
