Which DR mic should I get for my camera?

I've never heard it called a "DR mic".
What is your budget?
Stereo or mono?
Will you be mounting the mic to the camcorder, a mic stand or a boom pole? Longer cable = XLR connectors and balanced cables.
Audio Technica ATR-55
NRG Research SA-568
RODE Video Mic
Audio Technica ATR-875
Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3
There's lots.
Your SR11 does not have manual audio control and has only a 1/8" stereo mic jack. If you get a good shortgun mic, it will be XLR connector based - so you will need an XLR adapter like those from juicedLink and BeachTek. The XLR adapters have manual audio control.

Is the Rode Directional Shotgun Mic compatible with the Sanyo Xacti VPC - HD100?

1) I don't think the VPC - HD100 has an audio-in jack. Since you have the camera and the manual, you should be able to confirm that. There are two RODE mics made specifically for consumer camcorders. Both use a 1/8" (3.5mm) jack. The RODE VideoMic is a mono shotgun mic; the Stereo VideoMic does stereo and is not a shotgun mic.
2) If your camcorder does have an audio input, then mounting the camera to a camera bracket (got to amazon and search for "bower camera bracket") that uses the camera's tripod mount hole - and the bracket has another mounting hole to use a tripod so you don't lose functionality.
3) There are many alternatives - the RODE is quite good, though... and you do get what you pay for. Check the offerings in your price range from NRG Research (I like the SA-568mono switchable shotgun a lot - the SA-800 is pretty good) and Audio Technica...
