Hi LAWRENCE BLOOMBERG, this Sony TCM-210DV has a mic jack (Plug-in power). -Ely

Yes it allows connection of an external microphone for special recording applications.

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike.http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

This particular camera does indeed have an input jack for an external microphone. That's what I love about this camera. Not only does it have a microphone jack but it also has a built in mic. Depending on what you want to use the camera for, that may be enough for you. Me, personally, I needed this camera to do small interviews that could be uploaded to social media. For this task, and after a lot of research, I went with the Audio Technica ATR288 VHF Battery Powered TwinMic Microphone System. It comes with two lapel mics, one hand held mic, a receiever and a transmitter. I love the fact that the receiver can attach itself to this camera. I also bought the Must Have Accessory Kit for Canon. The kit comes with everything you'll need, including an external microphone that can be attached to the camera itself. Hope this helps...:-)

Well, I decided to order this camcorder anyway early on Cyber-Monday when the price was slashed to $299. It just arrived, and it does have an external mic jack - yeah! By the way, the shoe is not powered, i.e. it is a cold shoe. I'll add an update about the audio quality after I get a chance to test it at a live performance.

No, there is not an external mic input; however, I haven't felt a need for one. The audio quality of the recordings I have done has been excellent. I also use an Edirol R-09 audio recorder and the Zoom's audio is as good as the Edirol. You can also adjust the directionality of the mic from 30 to 150 degrees, which helps a lot with crowd noise suppression.

From my research, it does not have an external microphone jack. Some reviews I've found: http://www.t3.com/reviews/cameras/camcorders/panasonic-hm-ta1-review

The camera itself does not have an external jack, but you can certainly opt to use your own microphone plugged into a USB or mike port. On my system (XPP), the webcam software detected the other mike and automatically used that one for videos. If it doesn't, you can go to settings and tell it which mike to use. Although the mike on this is adequate, it isn't exceptional and you buy this web cam for the video not the sound. I prefer an external mike for sound anyway as the on-camera ones are positioned wrong and don't have the optimal sound quality

No external mics included, you have to buy a kit that contains 2 external mics. Which is what I did.

No. It does have a Microphone-In jack, but the audio must be monitored in post.

Yes it does, but it is on the left side of the unit. It's a powered jack if you need it. I use the Sony ECMCS3 stereo lav mic with great success. The top jack is for headphones.

No, it doesn't appear to have an external mic jack, but that hasn't been a problem for my purposes. It picks up sound very well. It has two mics (stereo) on the front under the lens.

Apologies for the delay in getting to this. But, yes it has a mini jack input on one side of the machine for an external plug-in power microphone. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is an external sound card. You will also need a microphone, either stereo or mono.

No, sadly it does not come with an external microphone. You have to do all the ajustments by yourself. There are other brands that do have an external microphone, like Pioneer which has a Customized Home Theater System (I think they call it "Pioneer Auto MCACC Room Calibration").

No, it doesn't have input for external mic. Also, please see my review for the camera. We had a problem with ours in that the battery didn't hold charge more than 30 minutes. I actually returned these and bought some panasonic cameras which did keep battery charge and came with AC adapter, everything.

No Tom unfortunately there isn't a microphone jack. There is a jack for HDTV and a jack for TV & of course your USB Port.
