A cannon is a weapon of war. A Canon is a camera.

If the microphone has the standard mic level out put and the proper size audio plug sure. In fact any mic with these standards, regardless of brand, should work fine.

However I'd recommend Shure or Sennheiser - the best brands out there. They're not cheap but they're the best available.
