I want to know which gives better sound quality, the Rode iXY (that connects to iphone) or the rode videomic (that connects to a dslr camera).

so i basically want to know which gives better quality. I own a nikon D7000 so rode mic can plug directly into it.whereas the ixy plugs into iphone.wondering which would give better sound quality which just normal speech talk like an interview, no concert recordings or anything like that. Just normal conditions like indoor situations and outdoors.

Are you asking about doing video interviews?

If so, then the D7000 will produce much better video and audio than an iPhone, which should be pretty obvious if you think about it. Just the sensor size difference would be the first clue.

If you are just needing to record audio interviews, a simple digital recorder like the ones made by Olympus. And others
