D90 ONLY have av/out

I just asked a question about power, but in the answer, Nikon staff said the ME-1 is "not compatible with the P7000".

However, on the compatibility page, you clearly say that it is.

The ME-1 is also listed on the P7000's Accessories page
http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26233/COOLPIX-P7000.html#tab-ProductDetail.ProductTabs.Accessories

I have seen elsewhere that the ME-1 is supposedly compatible with both the D7000 and P7000.

Can you clear up why an answer was given that the ME-1 is *not* compatible with the P7000??

Thanks

Can someone please help me. I have attached the me-1 per the manul instructions, but I do not have any sound recorded. I have set the movie setting mic to auto. How does the mic get its power?

I've done tests with the mic mounted on and off the hot shoe of my D7000 and there is no difference in sound. Also, I see no contacts on the mounting foot of the ME-1. It also has a tripod socket for, of course, mounting off the camera! So I guess the power comes through the cable from the mic input socket.

I have attached the ME-1 to the D5100, but which microphone is the camera using, the built-in (if I don't turn it off) or the ME-1? And, which is a better mode for interviewing a subject, "Flat" mode or "L-Cut" on the ME-1 settings??

I had a simple point and shoot camera that I used to record videos of cousin's high school concerts. Will this microphone be "good" for that or should I get something like the Rode Stereo VideoMic instead of this unidirectional design. I am not very familiar with video recording and such using external microphones.

Examples of the "chorus" setting can be seen in the link provided. There is only one space for a video link, the setting is the same for the second video link I was going to provide, however, replace the singing with violin playing.

I purchased this microphone but it will not mount in the hotshoe because it is too large to get past the eyepiece on the V1. There is no indication on the product page that an adapter is required.

Hello:

Just purchased a Nikon D5100 bundle package this past fall after being absent from the photographic community for 15 years.

I'm looking into buying some accessories and staying within budget. I've seen this microphone advertised online through a reputable dealer for around $130.00, but I've also seen other stereo microphones offered by the same dealer for half the price. Especially when the claim to do the same thing. What are some of the perks or incentives of buying a Nikon brand verses an after market brand?

I certainly don't want to go through the time and expense of buying and returning with the possibility of being stuck with something I don't like because of the sellers strick return policy.

Thanks.

I have attached the ME-1 as indicated in the owner's manual, attached the cable accordingly and made sure the microphone is on. When comparing the same subject with and without the ME-1 I did not notice any appreciable difference between the two, making me wonder if a) I somehow attached incorrectly, or 2) it was worth the money paid for it.

I am using a D7000.
