I use the Micro mainly for video recording. eg I gefimt the wedding ceremony in the church and placed the Micro before the newlyweds side on the floor. When insert an opera singer sang with organ accompaniment. Great sound and great control range in automatic mode. For concerts and celebrations also very good. But for bird calls in the forest, for example, totally unsuitable - too much noise for quieter sounds. Since then you have probably spend at least double or triple the price! The available "Fur Overcoat" is very good against wind noise. However, the small selection switch for the menu to get used to and requires some practice, because it is very sensitive! Would I buy it again anyway, because the value for money is ok.
