Hi /u/ButteryDankness - I will try to answer your questions and then make a recommendation.
> Is this actually true?
Yes, DSLRs generally have noisy preamps.
> Is there any way to get around this?
Yes, with an external preamp or recorder. The most affordable option is something like [this setup] (https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMDvb0xbkGpOvq6wJcd0chGbWC_Fpj7KKESJ2cj69vSPd12cuGBP8_ZfkoRnlWdUQ/photo/AF1QipOHKeyIf7heugShBrYyrivyYQ5OYcw3-2inF2UR?key=WTNZd3EyUUk0a0luYWZYS0NnSDNXT1dYMEV4ZGh3) mounted on my GH4 - with a recorder, shotgun mic, 8" cold shoe extension and a line level to mic level attenuation cable plugged into the camera.
With a $200 budget, I recommend:
This setup will allow you to mount the mic and the recorder on top of your camera, record a high quality track externally to sync with your video in post - and record a backup track to your camera.
That said, the best thing you can do to improve your audio is take the VideoMicro off the camera, put it on a [Rode Micro Boompole Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/Rode-Micro-Boompole-Ultra-Lightweight-Modular/dp/B015ZXVACI//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and keep it within 2 or 3 feet of your subject, as seen in [this Rode product video] (https://youtu.be/dfoopvFcY1E).
Hope this is helpful and good luck with finding the right audio solution for your needs!
