If you're stuck with an XLR microphone and only an 1/8" (3.5mm) input on your camera, you can use a Shure X2U and a USB Battery bank to get that microphone signal into your camera for a LOT less $$ than buying an external recorder (and having to sync later), and without having to buy an expensive, camera-specific, XLR hot shoe module.
This is a bit of a "hack," but it works, and the X2U is a relatively affordable option.
