Dario, I'm afraid I can't answer your specific questions about recording
video and mics for DSRLs as they use an unbalanced system. I do however
use balanced systems and have a reasonable knowledge of video an audio.
There are some interesting tutorials and links which may be of help here:

Hope this helps!

Thanks, they give interesting basics, but do not anwer my question. Is the 200 ohm output of the cheap Chinese Sg-18 mic responsible for the barely audible sound level I got? I had this suspect since the K-5 specs say that input impedance is 2.2 Kohm. If so, why should the Rode SVM mic everybody suggest be any better, as it also offers 200 ohm output like the Chinese unit?

If you really want to get into shooting DSLR video and record
professional-spec balanced audio, you'll need a breakout box like these:

I understand that. However, I'm not enough serious about video now. I'd just like to get audible sound in my recording.
