This may not be feasible from you, but have you considered attaching a compressor between your microphone and camera? they sell relatively cheap ones which will basically boost signal levels only above a certain threshold. I myself don't like the automatic gain control, as it is not reliable at getting a consistent audio signal.
One of the best ones I have seen in the sub $200 range is the "really nice compressor" at http://www.fmraudio.com. Absolutely perfect for getting highest quality analog audio such as speech.
Just my 2 cents.
