I am looking for a camcorder so I can use it for personal use at the same time for shooting high definition movie quality shots.
Answer
Top of the shop Sony. I've used the DR100 (over the shoulder job) and the top end commercial model. Both are broadcast quality.

What is a good microphone that I could use mounted to a boom pole?

Hey there, I'm looking for a mic that is mountable on a boom pole and is also compatible with the Canon HV30 camcorder.
A list with your top favorite would help wonders!
Answer
ask 10 audio engineers and get 10 good but different answers!
when you say boom pole, i think you mean a long pole (sometimes called a fishing pole) that is held high in the air to be out of the shot and a mic drops down on the end. It is very tiring and requires a lot of strengh to hold the pole, so the lightest mic possible is the best. it does not need to be directional because it is near the source of sound and the back is to the sky where no sound would normally come from anyway. quite often a miniture lav mic works for this.
in television studios and film lots the boom can be supported on a tripod like stand so a mildly directional cardiod mic is used and it is attached to a device that allows the operator to remotely point it towards the person speaking. It is directional because that eliminates pickup of noise from the pointing swivel device. The operator has to be very practiced to keep the mic pointed correctly.
some people call a shotgun mic a "boom mic" by mistake. a shotgun mic is a very directional mic that is attached to the camera itself, not a boom. it only picks up sound from the same direction as the camera is pointed. this does not always work out good, especially with the wide view angle of modern 16:9 video.
all of these are intended for pickup of dialog and not music. they are mono. the main advantages of the boom over say a wireless mic are it eliminates the mic from being visually seen and it simplifies pickup of multiple speakers. the operator will have to be informed of any camera changes to keep out of the shot, both the boom and its shadow.
