Summary: I tested the zoom option and with lot of surprise it is wonderfull and fascinting how technology can be.
The "Zoom" give you a very good focus on what you are recording and the noise around you become magicly less louder.
The "Gun" is just recording whatever you are filming without synchronysation with the zoom, but wich is still a very efficient micro that capture nice audio. At least better than the crappy-commercial-microbuilt-in 5.1
If you guys are tired of crappy/amateur audio capture, then go ahead, get the HGZ1 !

In telephoto mode, the microphone focuses on the audio straight ahead of it, isolating the subject matter. In wide-angle mode, the microphone broadens is recording range, so no sound occurring in frame is missed. The ECM-HGZ1 is designed to work with your camcorder's Active Interface Shoe, so it is easy to connect and simple to use. It is powered by the camcorder, so there is no need for a separate battery.
