I've boomed with the 416 a lot before this. It's a good mic to start with I agree. Been renting and borrowing it for my past shoots. But like you said, I'm kinda fixated with these two. I've heard their samples from a few websites and I have to say, hands down, the CMiT is really good ! But I also heard that it doesn't perform well in moist conditions (don't know true or not). And the CS3e has good noise rejection and that's good for where I'm shooting (Malaysia, very noisy place ) although the audio quality of the sanken is okay, it's definitely not as good as the schoeps. but still handy. Just wondering which one of these two is more practical for me to get. Thanks for the advice RPSharman.
anyone else can share their opinion/experience?
