Olympus ME-15 vs ATR 3350 / ATR 35S?
They're all around the same price, is there one that is clearly better than the other? I know people recommend giant squid a lot in this price range but they're $40 + shipping whereas the ones mentioned above are $22 with free shipping from Amazon.
Also both Audio Technica's require a battery but the Olympus does not, how come? |

All condensor mics require power to operate. It can come from a variety of sources. Professional devices usually provide it in the form of 48 volt 'phantom power.' Most consumer recorders, camcorders, computer sound cards, etc supply it as a bias voltage of about 5 volts called 'plug-in power' piggybacked through the mic input jack. Other record devices might not have it and a mic used with those recorders has to supply its own power through a battery. The Olympus mic you mention must be used with a recorder that supplies plug-in power while the Audio Technicas are a little more flexible and can be used with both recorders that have it and those that don't. |

Well this is for a one off event, just to mic some wedding vows, which do you recommend I buy between the two, or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks!

Fore something like a wired lav mic though, is there going to be a big difference in quality? It looks like lav mics all use the same little foam windscreen so wind performance probably won't be better.. more gain? I'm just wondering if the difference is something the average person would even pick up on

Does your camera have XLR input? Knowing what camera would be helpful.
