I want to use it on my FX7 Camcorder. The specs sound OK.

I'm an amateur but I've found that I get really good quality from the VideoMic on my HV20. The problem is tape noise and hiss, something I could have probably solved by having a bracket hold the VideoMic further away from the camcorder.

I ran into the same problem when testing the HV20 with the little Sennheiser MKE400. If you watch this video you'll see we use a Hama bracket to push the mic off to the side. http://vimeo.com/videos/search:sennheiser
That little camera is loud!
