I have my NTG2 connected to a Canon GL2 through a Beachtek XLR adapter, and I think this mic sounds pure and true. In fact, when I monitor my sound it doesn’t even seem like I’m listening through the mic. I’ve used Audio-Technica’s AT897, and though it is a decent microphone, I believe that NTG2 is the better choice. Besides the great quality sound, here is a list of why I like it so much:

-Wonderful super-cardioid pick-up pattern

-Well functioning bass roll-off switch (for excessive wind)

-Phantom or battery power

-Max sound input @ 131dB (AT897 only 115dB on battery power)

-Very Durable

There are some things I don’t like:

-The battery life is not nearly as good as the AT897

-Need to use a flat-head screwdriver for bass roll-off switch

-Brand sticker is coming off

-Wind screen is just OK

The stock wind screen isn’t going to be that great any shotgun mic. And the bass roll-off switch is made to prevent accidental switching. Just keep an extra AA battery in your bag and you’ll be happy.
