I'm no expert, so I need some advice from the gurus... :roll:

Basically I want to decide between these models (any other suggestion will be welcome, though) because they can be battery powered, and they are on a similar price range (150-200€):

AUDIO TECHNICA ATM33A

AKG C1000S MKIII

RODE NT3

I'm going to use it with a portable preamp and a minidisc recorder. Any comments?

thanks!

I can only speak for the AKG model. Sounds pretty good but it is one extremely rugged microphone. I have used it in some pretty bleak conditions and it comes through everytime.

thanks, nofeedbak. What I like about the AKG is that you can switch it from cardiod to hypercardiod, but I don't know if it's really that useful...

The Rode seems to have slightly better specs, although it's cheaper than the others...
