I have a Zoom h4n that I've used for filming with a Canon 7D and the price is fantastic for the features. It can do mp3 up to 24/96k recording and has external mic inputs (they can supply phantom), plus the noise floor is super low and the built in XY mics are super sensitive (get a good windscreen like the redhead though if you're recording outside!!!).
There are probably better options for sound, but for under $300 new you can't beat it, though Zoom did just release a $99 version without the mic preamps.
