What I Found
The Rode VideoMic gives a cleaner, more focused sound than the built-in microphone on a Canon T4i, especially when.
Built-in camera microphones are convenient, but they usually pick up everything around you: room noise, cars outside, birds, handling sounds, and whatever else happens to be nearby.
The Rode VideoMic sounds noticeably better than the built-in microphone on my Canon T4i. In my test, I was standing about 15 feet from the camera in a quiet office with a window open behind it, and the Rode picked up my voice more clearly while reducing some of the outside ambient noise.
