I've been using the Zoom H4N to record separate audio tracks for my Canon 7D primarily due to the auto gain control on the 7D. When compared to the onboard audio the difference is amazing. This picks up much more detail, separates the stereo channels much better than the onboard mic. The H4N allows me to monitor recording levels, move the mic away from the camera to eliminate sound from the focusing and lens stabilization and I can add a wind screeen to virtually elimiate wind noise. Sound quality is great, plenty of options for adding 4 channel sound with XLR / 1/4" combo jack. This means you can have directional mics for voice and still use stereo mics for ambient and mix and monitor them in the H4N too to reduce the amount of work in post. Line out makes it easy to use as external mic for the 7D too, especially with sturdy tripod mount.Get more detail about Zoom H4n Handy Portable Digital Recorder.
