I recently got a Sony a6400 mirrorless camera that I want to use to record myself singing covers. What type of microphone would you recommend to get good quality audio synced with the video? I'd prefer something that can mount on the camera. Budget is around $200. Thanks for any advice!

TheΒ Rode VideoMic Pro+Β is an excellent choice. It's a shotgun mic that plugs right into your camera's hot shoe and 3.5mm mic input. Great sound quality for the price at around $200. I use it with my Sony a6500 for vlogging and it performs really well. The built-in Rycote shock mount rejects handling noise nicely. Highly recommended.
Get the new released DJI Mic 2.
Just saw this... honestly if youre doing singing, a standard shotgun is okay but I found myself way more satisfied with something more versatile. Ive been shooting on the a6400 for years now and the preamp can be a bit noisy if you arent careful. Heres what worked for me after trying a bunch of setups:
