I need a wireless lavalier microphone system for my HF-S100 and my budget is around $200. Would you please suggest some models for me to look at?
Thanks in advance.

for the budget of two hundred, the selection (external link) can be pretty narrow.

~200 or under, you can get some azden or audio-technica wireless lavalier mic set. The next up is the sennheiser which is more expensive.

the affordable and big name wireless mic for video is Sony, Azden, and Sennheiser. Sony stuff is always expensive but you can't go wrong w/ their products. We use Sennheiser wireless setups and their signal is very loud and clean.

Thanks Trey. I'll order Audio Technica and give it a try.

A/T is decent stuff. Avoid the Azdens they're really cheap crap.

Pro gear like Lectrosonics is expensive but you get what you pay for. Look at what 95% of the ENG shooters are using and you'll see Lectro stuff.

The Sennheiser Evolution series are good but the proprietary connector on the microphone is a PITA. Why they chose this completely incompatible connector with anything else is a mystery to all.

I've been in broadcast audio for about 27 years now and do a lot with RF daily. With budget being no issue I would choose either Sennheiser or Lectrosonics, but I realize you don't have an unlimited budget.

dennis,

keep in mind that he's using a consumer camcorder w/ no sort of analog preamp. spending $2K+ for a set is outrageous and it won't cure the auto digital gain. you gotta look at both the side of the system, recording and capturing devices.

I got into A/V world for making some product information DVD for my product only and I doubt if I'll make it a hobby at all, not to mention professional stuff.
No matter what, notes well taken and I've ordered a set of A/T.
Thanks again for your chime in for a noob.
