It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a standard or benchmark for these things (sampling frequency?).
Recently I tested the iPhone 4S video mic with an app for use as a recording mic. During the test I found the audio quality to be fantastic for what I want; I've been hoping to record audio for LEGO tutorials or Let's Plays. However, this was not my own iPhone 4s, so I cannot use it regularly or when no one is nearby.
I wish to purchase my own mic then, but not an iPhone 4S. I have a history of neglecting my Apple products beneath my laptop and flip phone, and I do not want to purchase an entire entire iPhone if I will only be using the video mic and a $2 app.
So can anyone give me recommendations for a quality microphone comparable to an iPhone 4S? I would greatly appreciate it.
Incidentally, I also tried a recent iPod Touch. The quality was almost there, but not the same.
