What Sounds Better? Internal vs External Microphone? Lumix DMC-FZ300, Takstar SGC-598

The internal microphones on cameras and camcorders can get the job done, but if you want better audio, you might try mounting an external microphone. No EQ, compression, or noise reduction was applied to the audio tracks. What you hear is what you get. In this video I compare the internal microphone on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 to the Takstar SGC-598 hooked up through the microphone jack on the camera.
