Anyone know of a handheld microphone for the Sony Handycam?

Shane Getler: Before I recommend a mic, I need to know which Sony camcorder you are using. Many below US$1,000 have no mic jack and use only the Sony proprietary Active Interface Shoe (AIS) for connectivity. Many of the entry level cams don't have an AIS and no external mic will connect.
