One of the most important aspects of video is actually audio quality. The sound you record with the onboard mic of a video camera is not even close to the quality people are used to hearing on television and at the movies. To get much closer to this without spending a fortune get the Rode VideoMic for about $150 and attach it to the accessory shoe on top of your camera.
